One of the neatest things about being moored at Niue is the dinghy hoist. It is a little bit intimidating in the current swell, but we are enjoying the challenge of getting the big hook onto a bridle on the dinghy, jumping onto a ladder and running to the lever on the electric hoist to get the boat up and out of the water before a big wave swamps the boat. We are actually having a hard time imagining how some of the "less young than we are" cruisers are managing this maneuver!
