After the "big" Pacific crossing last year (Panama to Marquesas), it was time for another small passage:

French Polynesia to Tonga.
Less than a third of the distance, but going through the SPCZ (South Pacific Convergence Zone) so also with some challenges.

Overall a nice and easy passage outside of a very unstable and changing weather which got us to changes sails, motor, go north, go west, go wherever there was some wind, but not too much ;-)

We left Maupiti after hiding out a rough south easterly and were heading North to Suwarrow (Tom Neale Island), but eventually decided to get straight to Tonga, which we reached after 1350 Nmiles and 9days, 7hours.
