Vava’u, Tonga

Vavau, Tonga — On a recent bareboat charter in the Kingdom of Tonga, Chris Brzezinski and Angie Bartosik of Ocean Beach enjoyed some quality shore time at the Vavau Visitors Center — and they brought along The Log newspaper. Anyone who likes quiet anchorages, pristine reef dives and having a beach to themselves would love the place, Angie told The Log. We chartered a 45-foot Beneteau, slightly bigger than our 423 homeported at Southwestern Yacht Club.
