Hi there, We were wondering how your trip was going and just saw your update which mentions you are in Tongatapu. We were just wondering did you check back into Tonga? & If so, did you have any issues? We understand your decision. Hope you have a nice stay, and that it is not too much trouble raising the anchor upon your departure. Looking forward to hearing from you. Take care.

All is well. 1091 miles to Whangarei. Can't hear on SSB, will check backstay connection.

Ghradio has changed their latitude to 19s as their 750 mn run the last 12 hrs seems rather unrealistic! Wishful thinking.
