It's time to take on our biggest sailing challenge yet as we prepare to sail from Tonga to New Zealand. We've always just sailed our catamaran with only the two of us onboard but this stretch of ocean has its own risks and so we are bringing on a third crew member to help us reach New Zealand safely.

We have truly loved our time in Ha'apai, Tonga, and so we make one more stop as we head South to the capital where our new crewmember is flying into, and the whales make one more appearance as we sail between shallow reefs and tiny desert islands in a beautiful part of the world.
