This is a crazy news story. (There are cool pics there)
A YACHT sailing out of Vava’u motored into a strange “sea of stone” on August 12, and the following day its crew became possibly the first people to witness the birth of a new volcanic island that has been forming in Tonga.The Maiken (the yacht) has it’s own blog with the full post here. Those pics are nuts. I don’t know if I could sail like that- seems too isolating, but maybe that’s the draw.
