Not the best weather on Vavau

Hello All,
Yesterday was a mixed bag of of adventure and disappointment. Jon and I went out to the coral gardens with the dingy. We left the dingy on the beach just short of the area to snorkel. Jon swam out past the breakers to the edge of the reef and I said no way. It was a little extreme for me so I did some beach combing. When Jon came back he said the coral was many different colors and saw some sea life also. He really enjoyed the reef and said it was awesome. After that we came back to the boat and headed out for a place called Mariners Cave. It was located on an Island not far from where we were. It has an underwater cavern with a small entrance under the water. If you didn't know where to go you would never find it. We had some cruisers tell us where it was at last week. I just got close with the boat and Jon jumped in. He found the way in but it was very dark and so with out a light it would be to hard to see anything. So we gave up and about that time the crew off of the mega yacht Nirvana, that we hung out with the other day, showed up in there fancy dingy. We rafted up together for a bit and visited.
It was getting late so we said good by and went to find an anchorage for the night. We picked a place where there were several other boats. It wouldn't have been my first choice but it was close and it was getting dark. Not the greatest anchorage but it got us by till this morning and now the weather is not being very nice. Windy, rainy and cloudy so I don't know what we are going to do today. The anchorage that I wanted to do today has to have good sunlight for visibility as it has a narrow pass to to get through. We will figure something out I am sure.
That's all for now.

PEACE
