VaVa'u - Club House Bay

This was a rather strange and different anchorage.  The enterance is a very narrow gap in the rocks and one must follow the directions of the buoys or disaster will surly occur.  It is very clearly marked but High Tide is a must for any boat with any sort of draft.  This included Mouse Pad.  It's twisty and very narrow but well marked and worth the effort.

The Club House and the anchorage is called has only a couple of places to drop your hook.  There is also a few moorings which are rentable at a very nominal fee.   We picked up one as it seemed the safest and easiest thing.  Anchorage is rather deep and we were not convinced on its holding power.

One of the endearing features of the Club House restaurant is it's entertainment.  An alcoholic pig!  The owner purchase a few pigs and named them Ernie, Meanie, Miney, and Mo.  Miney was the only one left!  It doesn't take much of an imagination to know where the others went.  Miney does have one redeeming quality... he loves beer!  He is a cheap drunk as he will beg for beer from everyone who enters his bar.  Beer is served in his own glass (an ash-tray).  It only took 2 beers for him to be staggering and stumbling down drunk.  A very funny and entertaining evening.

I must warn you the food that was served was less than edible.  Even Miney wouldn't eat it when offered.  All he wanted was another beer!
