[speed] anchored at Ha'afeva
[heading]
[status] Fantastic downwind sail up to Ha'afeva from Nomuka'Iki on Saturday. Saw whale and caught tuna (pleased it wasn't the other way around). On our own in the anchorage last night which was was nice. Joined by Rob and Jo on the cat Duble Trouble today. Had a wander across to the village this afternoon, then a nice snorkel.
Late afternoon, 3 boats arrived in. The fuckwit in a big American flagged thing chose a boatlength from us to anchor - out of the whole South Pacific he had to chose from!
Surprise surprise we got to go and re-anchor. We are certainly meeting some interesting people on this trip. And we thought it was just the IHC crowd that were that special!
Nice drinks and chat with Rob and Jo after all that excitement, and lots more good anchorage info from them for some other places we will want to visit.
Will spend tomorrow here, then off to Pangai on Tuesday. Still are planning to go up to Vava'u on Thursday to do the visa extension. Then will come back down to the Ha'apai.
