[status] We have enjoyed this anchorage now for 3 nights. Have done lots of walking through bush and sand. This island is so remote and beautiful, just how you think a tropical Tonganan Island should look like. Yesterday, Tuesday we left Uoleva and headed about 10 nm south through a passage to another island called Uonukuhahaki. It seems every island we stop at is that little bit more beautiful than the previous one. While Glen was setting the anchor the water colour changed to something quite indescribable. It had all the blues you could possibly think of and then more. The colours were coming from beneath the surface more than the top. Jaw dropping WOW. My camera couldn't capture what my eyes were seeing. We put the kayaks in the water and paddled to the beach for an explore. There were terns flying around that we hadn't seen since we arrived in Tonga. Crabs and more crabs. Never seen so many out and about on the beach. We found a few whole 'villages' of crab holes. Not the normal crab hole here and there but a group of maybe 30 holes all clustered together. Really unusual. The shells are really great on the beaches as well. Been on board just over a week and probably have my quota already. There are only 5 boats in our bay which all left the previous anchorage together and are anchored together today as well, so we were chosen as the host boat for drinks last night. One of the rally boats has 3 girls on board and the the two older ones came and did some baking with me before our guests arrived. Good time had by all.
