Salty Sail from Tonga (Vava'u) to New Zealand (Whangarei)

Our 9-day 1,200 nm passage to New Zealand from Vava'u Tonga! We left on October 22nd and arrived on the 31st. We had a very salty sail, with lots of waves and wind. Pino made great speed, in fact, it's one of the fastest passages we've ever made! Fast often means less comfortable, most of the time we were heeled over, and being below wasn't much fun. Going to the bathroom, a normally simple affair on land, becomes a chore at sea. Any simple task becomes complicated, even sleeping. We found out one night we had a serious leak in one of our overhead hatches, after a cascade of salt water came pouring in after a big wave. Ah la la, life at sea.
We're happy to have arrived here in NZ, we have many projects to do on Pino (with 12 months to do it all). With constant internet, making projects will be easier!
Thank you for watching!
