Niue island


We are sat on board getting ready to leave Niue tomorrow ( weather permitting), and we are overwhelmed by the Whales singing outside, they are so close to the boat, singing and splashing its truly incredible.
We went outside a while ago to watch, but its pitch dark, maybe later when the moon comes up we'll get another amazing show.
Off to Tonga tomorrow, we'll probably see a lot of Whales on the way there, as we hear from friends over there its full of Whales too, hopefully they are all awake and we don't crash into any sleeping ones.
We never tire of seeing the wild animals, you find yourself watching them, then realising you have a big smile on your face!


Anchored in Aitutkai lagoon.
Local Rugby match Aitutkai, final game of season, lots of violence on the pitch!
Beach, Palmeston atoll.
Our hosts in Palmeston, Tere, Yvonne & Shekinah Marsters.
