[status]Overnight passage from Vava'u was good practice for the trip home. Motor sailed to windward. Battery was not charging so auto-helm stopped working. Doug feared that the alternator had broken but once at anchor he found the fault so all good. We caught a tuna on the lure Mike gave us. YAY! Lower lying islands here, more untouched, water is cooler but great snorkelling.
Have seen whales.[END]

We are enjoying being back at Poum, apart from being very sheltered it is also very beautiful. And listening to GH Radio, I think we're very sheltered.
