Vava'u, Tonga

On crossing the International Dateline this morning, two things happened.
The first is that, without doing anything fancy, we have now gone from being
very late risers, relative to the UK, to being up very early. The second
thing is that somebody stole our Saturday from us which seems like a poor
reward for travelling so far. This morning we were 12 hours behind
Perfidious Albion's Summertime and now we are now 12 hours ahead. Makes my
head hurt.

We also had a bottle of iffy NZ champagne at the crossing and had some
excellent fresh-caught mahi-mahi for dinner.

Storms are forecast up ahead.
