Malanoa Island Camping

We went camping this weekend with Lyndon and Jodie (Kids: Dylan and Emily), Lincoln and Rachael (Kids: Elly Rose and Harry). Rachael works on the AFP project in Tonga. We took the boat to an uninhabited island called Malanoa, about 13 miles from Nukualofa. We set up on a beautiful sand beach and snorkeled some of the cleanest and healthiest reef I have seen in a long time. We saw whales on the way to Malanoa and on Sunday morning a whale and her calf relaxed and floated just out side the island's fringing reef. Lyndon paddled out for a closer look.
