Tonga: Day 13 - Hunga Island

Saturday, July 13, 2013

We left early this morning to make the narrow passage during high tide into the bay at Hunga Island. It was an extremely tight passage, maybe fifty feet across, and with only 4 feet beneath the keel at its shallowest point.

We were nervous, but we made it through without a problem. All charts mark navigation buoys in the channel to help guide you, but we found no buoys when we went through.

We grabbed a mooring ball in front of the Ika lahi lodge on the north end of this calm bay.
