The first installment of the Niue photos. What an amazing place and we are scheming to go back someday ...

| Fluenta on a mooring with our friends Whanake (left) and Lil Explorers (right) |
 |
| So many caves ! |
 |
| The Bongo Van we rented with Whanakei. First time we have rented a car for tourist purposes. |
 |
| Niue Yacht Club - a great spot and Brian and Ira were so helpful. Passports on the table getting ready to clear-out. |
 |
| Preparing to crane our RHIB into the water. This was the SOP for everytime you go ashore as your dingy would be compelled if you left it tied to the dock. |
 |
| Fluenta primary crane operator. Of course, don't let your nine year old do this at home ... |
 |
| Watching a parade as a bystander for once. Flag raising for their 40th Anniversary of Independance. The crew of HMNZS OTAGO. |
 |
| Flag Raising |
 |
| Performances from the local school |
 |
| More importantly says Benjamin, the feast to follow the flag raising. |
 |
| The crew of HMNZS OTAGO perform |
 |
| Tim, the CO of OTAGO giving us the ship tour and answering a million questions from us "yotties". What a difference to be on a new ship rather than HMCS PROVIDER or PRESERVER where I served or the other ships I spent time on. |
 |
| Yes, another Fluenta picture (with laundry flying) ... |
 |

ReplyDeletesaw a while back that you had a great visit to Penrhyn, AND were the only boat at Suwarrow - looks like a great crossing!

Hi Team Galactic,
ReplyDeleteYes we had great visits in the Northern Cooks. Seemed a shock to be back in with the crowd at Nuku'alofa.
Safe passage,
Max
