Rushing ashore on Suwarrow
Every sailing cohort, it seems, sets its own trends. Crews who preceded us by three years
reported that Palmerston had been all the rage at the time. In our year, Beveridge Reef
seemed to be garnering the popular vote until almost everyone headed to Suwarrow in-
stead. Did that detract from our experience? Not at all, at least for the families: fourteen
kids from seven boats and seven nations at the time of our stay. Other crews, well, they
might have had a different definition of paradise!
Of course, the party had to break up sometime, and when it did, the fleet headed off in
various directions: some west to Samoa, others on a more southerly bearing to Niue. But
in this neck of the ocean, all roads lead to Tonga's Vava'u group, where we were happily
reunited for another sweet sailing sojourn. And that's the South Pacific for you - one
highlight after another, no matter where you linger along the way.
