[status] Arrived in Vava'u at about 11 pm NZ time last night. The wind between the Ha'apai Group and Vava'u last evening increased from 20 knots mean to about 27 knots with gusts greater than 35 knots. It made anchoring in the pitch black an interesting proposition. All turned out well, however. We can celebrate the Tongan King's birthday today (or maybe American Independence day). We are bringing out the bubbly!!!

The wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigator.
