On the way to Tonga

The GPS says it is 1366nm to our destination - Tonga. And at 4 knots that will take a while. We just left Bora Bora about 3 hours ago and the wind is light and behind us, our next to worst point of sail, only going dead upwind being worst than that. It is swelly too so the sails are flapping a bit and we are headed directly for the only clouds and rain in the entire area - great. It was fun for the most part in Bora Bora but we are happy to be off with a good weather window for the next several days, despite this ugly squall ahead of us.

I will write a longer update on Bora Bora tomorrow and send that off. There is a lot to tell about BB - hula dancing, rain, illness, new friends, etc. - tomorrow.
