After a wonderful 3 months cruising around the many beautiful islands of French Polynesia we sailed from Bora Bora on the 1st September to Suwarrow. Spent 9 wonderful days in that pristine National Park founded by the forward thinking Cook Islands government. We sailed on to Vava'u in Tonga and arrived here a few days ago. Lovely to be back here , our 3rd visit in "Taranui 3" in 6 years and we still really enjoy this place, very easy cruising and friendly locals, many handi crafts and a good local market.
We are currently in Tapana Island.
We plan to sail towards the Ha'api's and down to Tongatapu by the end of next month. Our planned departure for Minerva, then NZ is late October.
Will update as we get closer.

Have a great day.
