Tues & Wed, July 23 & 24, 2013
We are planning to leave for Fiji on Friday, so we spent these days preparing and provisioning for the next leg of our journey.
In Tonga, you can only get fuel when you leave for some reason, so you have to schedule with them the exact time and day you are leaving so they know to show up at the fuel dock with their fuel truck.
The was a gap in the constant river of jellyfish that flow through Neiafu Harbour, so we used the opportunity to make water. Here's the ol' makeshift rig we have to get water in our tanks.
We haven't replaced the switch that routes the water maker output to the two tanks yet, and it's stuck pouring it into the galley sink. So we just rig up a funnel and hose and run it to the tanks.
I also cracked open our last coconut the one day to find a little palm tree starting to grow within.
This is the early stage of the root of the tree. I ate it and it was delicious. They sometimes put it in salad and call it 'the heart of the palm' as the tree dies when you remove it.
