Tongan Paradise

Hello All,
Today was an eventful day of swimming snorkeling and exploring. Jon went for a swim to the beach this morning and I took the dingy in with my camera and took some pictures of the anchorage and of the beach. It is only about a 1/4 mile long but it is beautiful white sand. After that we took the dingy about a mile west of us and found a good snorkel spot. The water was very clear and the coral although not abundant was very colorful. For the first time in my travels I actually saw starfish which was very cool. After that we took the dingy another mile to a point on the Island we are anchored and saw Swallows Cave. The entrance is big enough to get your dingy in and once inside it opens up to several caverns. It is light inside because the sun can shine in a hole in the top. It was amazing and quite big. You can see the bottom and it is very deep. I got some video and lots of pictures of the cave exploration.
We arrived back at the boat a little bit ago and are just relaxing now. We are going to move to another anchorage tomorrow morning and check out a little more of this Tongan paradise.
Bye for now.

PEACE
