Tonga, the kingdom of

Peyton weigel

A 1000nm 5-6 day trip to Beveridge Reef turned into a 1500nm 10 day trip to Tonga. Left Mo’orea with a good forecast of 7-18kts of wind. Unfortunately the conditions rapidly deteriorated at Beveridge reef and we changed plans and decided to head directly to Tonga. We also found all of the lowest ends of the wind forecast and had some really slow sailing the entire trip. Had some nice and relaxing days and had the spinnakers up for days on end. The squalls carried basically zero wind until the last couple of days. Lost the loud speaker on the mast. Did some very active sailing. Had to get ready of our baby plant before Tonga :( rip
