[status]Our 3rd night at the southern anchorage off Uoleva Is. As it's one of the few more sheltered anchorages in the Ha'apais we'll be staying here for at least another week as the forecast is for even stronger winds. The highlight here would be the extremely long deeply sloping white sand beaches that surround the whole island. We are yet to explore underwater. There are no villages but 4 budget type resorts. We had a night in Pangai (small town) on Lifuka Is to clear customs and provision. There was one cafe....phew. Cyclone damage and the ongoing recovery was evident.[END]
The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
