[status] Anchored at Big Mamas off Nuku'alofa. Had a small repair to do on engine water cooling system. Now ready to depart for NZ but weather is not looking good late next week. Prob leave for Minerva tomorrow (sat).
8 yachts here including Macushla heading to NZ. This morning 7 yachts in Minerva including Silver Fern and Rhombus. Helios and Peregrine left Tongatapu 2 days ago for NZ. There are others enroute too. Some yachts said they have not been able to get sailmail messages through for emails and weather. It seems the Nuie station has been down. Also there is a lot of interference on the ssb here.
Can't wait to get to NZ.
Thanks for your coverage.
