ON THE SOUTH PACIFIC III EXPEDITION FROM TONGATAPU TO VAVA’U

After a welcome coffee at the beautiful Waterside restaurant we made our way to the wharf to join SV WindShift. Luggage on board, unpacked, excited conversations and more welcome teas and coffees we had our first briefing – initial safety briging, overview of our schedule, followed by a delicious lunch of chickpea salad and watermelon. Wonderfully refreshing. Just what we needed to refuel, ready for our first land research.
