Tonga Diaries - Arrival ✈️

Tonga Diaries - Arrival ✈️

By the time you read this email, I should have reached Tonga! 🥳
 
Over the next few days I will be taking some time to sightsee around the island of Tongatapu before we officially board the boat and start the expedition on June 2nd.
 
 
I will be one of the first guest crew to arrive.
 
 
We have only met each other through a couple of introductory Zoom calls and messages on Whatsapp, so it will be great to finally meet everyone in person.
 
...and we will have to become friends very quickly because living on a sailing boat is very close quarters. ⛵
 
Think pirate ship but smaller.
 
 
 
All of us are from different industries and are bringing our different experiences to the voyage which will make it so interesting.
 
You can meet my crewmates here.
 
 
 
Want to keep up-to-date with the expedition?
 
You can track the boat here.
 
(Don't worry if the boat is stationary, it means we have come ashore to do some data collection.)
 
 
I will be back with Tonga Diaries in July to share stories of how the expedition went.
 
(For June I have prepared a fun game for you whilst I'm away! If you want to play, you can sign up to the club here - it's free!)
 
In the meantime, you can:
 
Check out the eXXpedition blog and Instagram which will be updated from the boat.
 
 

A massive thank you to all my sponsors for your donations, I am blown away by your generosity <3 Thank you so much.
 
 
If you would like to support me on this voyage, there is still time. You can find out more about eXXpedition, the work we will be doing to combat ocean plastic pollution and make a donation here. Thank you!

Until next time,
