Congratulations & bouquets to
Congratulations & bouquets to 'Aunofo Havea. "The only female captain of yachts and kalia in Tonga, and internationally" - a magnificent achievement - the first woman on Planet Earth to be awarded such an accolade. A huge accomplishment for women in the world & especially the last remaining Polynesian Kingdom in the world. Now that we have the first woman Captain of this calibre, this is surely a sign that it is time for a woman to become Tonga's next Prime Minister. All the best Captain 'Aunofo, your mate 'Asupa and the women & children of Tonga ...
Congratulation Aunofo , but
Congratulation 'Aunofo, but of course as a Polynesian the sea is in your blood. Tonga is proud to have sons who are skippers who holds masters certificate, and daughters who are piloting planes, and now one of her daughter holds a master seafarer certificate. What an achievement for a nation who has been doing it all alone through out its history.
