And we’re off! Setting sail for Tonga today

Today we set sail for the beginning of our South Pacific sailing adventure! We awoke to a beautiful rainbow which I hope is a sign for good weather to come. We are departing from the Bay of Islands, New Zealand for a 1200 mile, 10-day voyage to Tonga (could be longer if weather permit us to stop at Minerva Reefs). We hope for good wind, smooth sailing, and fun times! I am  so excited to sail to warmer weather, beautiful beaches, and hope to find good kitesurfing and scuba diving spots!

I have taken my daily dosage of “Paihia Bomber” a local remedy to prevent seasickness that sailors swear by.

I will obviously won’t be in communication during the passage; however, there is a chance you might can track our voyage through this site searching for ID# KC0PWT, boat name Wonderland.
