Having been with the Nai'a on a Tonga voyage, I'm well aware of their devotion to these great mammals. This is an amazing example of their commitment and courage. Congratulations and thank you to all.

Venessa, that is an excellent and detailed account of how to successfully effect a whale rescue under very trying conditions. I have no doubt you were at the forefront and led the rescue effort. Well done! From your first hand account there are some valuable lessons and do’s and dont’s. Worthy of publication in a journal I think. Great effort and well done to you and Chad and Big Mo and the team. I’m book for Tonga for next July. See you then!

Words can not even express the magic of this trip. The crew was amazing. I wanted to take them all home with me and play guitars all night. And yes I would find some Kava! Thank you all so much for this experience.
