Stephanie's+Pacific+Adventure

Hi, I hope school's going well, I'm in Vavau now. It is really hot up here. We're in a place called Port Maurelle and it has really good snorkelling. In the Haapai we met a family who have been sailing the world for as long as they have lived!!! It's so cool.

In Tonga on the main island there is Friday night yacht races, every boat that enters gets a prize. It's fun to race especially when we won last week. I have dived into Mariners Cave. It is a really dark cave inside an island. The only way to get in is by diving underwater. Once you get in it's quite dark but you can see other people's flippers on the way in. There is lots of air to breathe once you get in there.

Hope you can see our blog as Mum has put some photos on it.

Hi The Island,

We are sailing to Tonga now, we will get there tonight. we didn't end up in Minerva Reef because the wind was in the wrong direction, so we stopped for lunch at Raoul Island instead. It was nice to see land again because we hadn't seen any since last Wednesday.

I can't wait to have a swim because it's getting hot here like standing by the sun.

Yesterday we caught two fish, one was a mahimahi which was nice for tea, the other fish was a trevally.

I hope schools going well, because I'm having lots of fun here. I hope you get a good sight of Venus tomorrow.

You can reply to this email address but please keep it short because it comes through the satellite phone while we are at sea. Also please delete my message from your reply.
