As promised, here are some snaps of the 10 day voyage up to Tonga.
 
It started with great weather and plain sailing
 
 
 
Rachel takes up her customary repose
 
 
 
The wind gets up to 25 gusting 30 knots, we reef down and blast along on a beam reach
 
 
 
And the wind pipes up some more
 
 
 
We negotiate our way through the 120m wide gap into North Minerva reef, for some welcome respite
