Leaving the Kingdom of Tonga

Hello All,,
We are getting the boat ready this morning to depart for Savusavu Fiji. We have had such a great time in the Ha'apai Group and met some very nice people. It would be good to stay longer but we want some time in Fiji also before we have to go south.
Yesterday was pretty low key. Jon jumped in the water when he saw some dolphins and tried to swim with them but they were not interested and swam away. In the late after noon we went ashore to visit some cruisers and hung out till dark visiting and telling stories. A couple on a Tri Maran invited us out for a movie last night to see The Wizard of Oz. They set up a big white sheet on deck and had a projector from a DVD. It was like going to the movies in the middle of the ocean. There were 8 of us on board and there was still lots of room. Life is always full of first times but that one takes the cake.
I have been looking at the weather and the wind looks very light. Every passage we have had in the last 2 months has been 25 knots or more going into weather and now we will be going dead down wind. When we need 25 knots the most it isn't there lol, Maybe the weather man is wrong but we will see.
I will keep in touch on the passage and let you know how we are doing.
That's all for now. take care and I will talk to you tomorrow.

PEACE
