My last couple of days spent in Tonga on La Vagabonde.

After a year of sailing thousands of miles from Grenada in the Caribbean where we spent the hurricane season of 2015​, all the way​​ to Tonga​, we decided it...

In episode 71 of SLV there are some epic clips of our time in Tonga at a secluded anchorage with stunning views like this. The water was still, Riley was out spearing, Elayna was preparing dinner and I had some time to capture this epic sunset on the camera.

Episode 71 of SLV is up. I win a poker night and we finally receive a prop that fits the outboard. shoutout to Couch Sailors - Sailing Videos & Out Chasing Stars crew, who I met while in Tonga.

An abandoned, creepy looking yacht called the ‘Sea Oak’ that was covered in security tape, was anchored right near La Vagabonde in Neiafu - Vava’u, Tonga. Th...

A raw clip from my phone showing how tranquil this anchorage is. All you can hear is a man playing his saxophone on his yacht, which set the mood perfectly.

It was great to cruise on from the main island of Vava'u and find some picturesque anchorages. In episode 70 of SLV we make some friends and share food on the beach while the sun sets.

There is an endless list of jobs that needs to be done and fixed onboard most yachts, like, always. You could stay in one port FOREVER if you wanted, prepari...

As the title says! What an experience it was to swim with these massive creatures. In episode 69 we get tropical in Tonga.

We were so lucky to get to swim right beside a big mumma and her calf, for 3 whole dives​​.​ Vava'u - Tonga, what a place!​ We celebrate a traditional root t...

There were some amazing islands left right and centre while entering Vava'u group of islands in Tonga.

On the way into Tonga we decided to put the big lure on, and it paid off! Even though we were very tired without the autopilot working, this big fish lifted spirits.

It was a bit of a battle pulling this beautiful, majestic creature onboard just out of Tonga, but we finally did it! In the whole 30,000nm miles or so we hav...

What an experience it was hand steering for 2 days and one that I will never forget. As cameraman and an extra hand on board we started two hour shifts between the three of us. It doesn't sound that hard on paper but it definitely rocked all of us. I was stoked I had a heap of podcasts and new tunes downloaded to keep me occupied throughout the long nights.

I must say, the beginning of our 236nm sail from Niue to Vava’u - Tonga was a bit of a downer, considering the auto pilot had once again stopped working and ...

Another sunset from La Vagabonde

In episode 66 of SLV we explore the island by car, check out some cool chasms, free dive straight off La Vaga and spear a grouper for dinner. Niue is definitely a untouched paradise.
