New Anchorage on Vavau

Hello All,
We moved to another anchorage yesterday off of Vaka'eitu Island. There are some coral gardens over here that we wanted to explore. Yesterday we went for a hike on the Island and went over the hill to a secluded beach. It was beautiful and Jon went for a swim and checked out the reef. I went for a little hike down the beach and found an awesome lagoon. On our return back to the boat we visited with a guy from Tasmania that has built a little house on the beach. He offered us some coffee and we had a great visit.
Last night we were invited over to a chartered catamaran for a sun downer. There was 8 people on board all from New Zealand on a 10 day holiday. There are a few boats here in the anchorage and they invited us over because they thought since I was from Alaska I would be very interesting to talk to. I have had that happen a few times on this trip.
Today we will go out to the coral gardens and snorkel around. We have been told it is awesome.
We have been lucky enough to be able to sail between the anchorages and we have been able to use a mooring every time, which Jon likes because he doesn't have to deal with the anchor.
Well that's all for now so I will talk to you soon.

PEACE
