We have been lost in paradise the last four days, enjoying a most superb anchorage at the wonderful Motu Taurere on the south east corner of the lagoon. Wonderful fine white sandy bottom, crystal clear 8' deep water, ranges of the colour blue that are only to dream about. Perfect swimming, a nice selection of coral bommies to snorkel over and feed the fish. Calm and peaceful, away from the meriad of resorts and resort activities. We shared the anchorage with “Mr John VI” and aussie catamaran “Rush” plus the odd charter boat would turn up for the night and go the next day. I really was hard to motor away from there this morning back into the main town anchorage of Vaitape.
It is Bastille Day today a public holiday and we hear there is a parade. So we may pop in to check that out. Otherwise tomorrow will see us fuel up, water up, provision up and clear out from the Gendarme. To head for Tonga. The forecast is looking pretty good and if the weather is really good we may even stop at Atiutaki in the Cook Islands and maybe even Nuie?? We shall see. Otherwise it will be about 8 - 10 days to Vava'u.
