Other points of interest:
The wind was reasonable for sailing nearer Tonga last night and by the middle of the night we saw some lights ashore . This morning at dawn we carried on to go through one of the passes in the coral on the western side . Wind was a little stronger than we would have liked but all went well.
We have anchored to sort things out . tidy up and most important check the engine and drive shaft ready to go into the main harbour for customs clearance etc tomorrow. It has been a great voyage , but it is good top be anchored here. I was going to leap in and have a swim and a soak in the sea but then thought it would be such a nuisance to comeall this way and then be eaten by a shark!! - So had a sluicing down on deck !
