Message in a Bottle: FOUND!

Just a quick story about Michael's message in a bottle he released on his birthday at a remote volcano in the Ha'apai Island group, Tonga.

Pretty crazy that it only took 3 months for it to wash up on a beach in a neighbouring country.

Bluewater sailing NZ to Tonga PT1 EP 13

Bluewater sailing NZ to Tonga PT1
Goodbye New Zealand! Setting sail for Tonga. New Zealand to Tonga - here we come!
our NZ to Tonga crossing is a go!. We finally say goodbye to New Zealand and set sail across the South Pacific ocean towards Tonga.
We are farewelled by a pod of dolphins and quickly adapt to life on passage. We have a few issues to deal with as our inverter breaks down and our bilge alarm keeps going off!
We also deal with some un-forecast winds and squalls on our wettest crossing yet.
