Back at sea, Tom gives
"Rodney" the autohelm a break
 And Rach suffers the
first of many bad hair days...
 Finally, the main island
of Tonga, Tongatapu, and the capital city Nuku 'Alofa come into sight, on a day
so grey and untropical that it felt more like sailing into Portsmouth in
October
 Ahh, that's more like it
- from our anchorage off Pangaimotu Island a couple of miles from the
city
 And celebrating our
arrival while quarantined onboard before clearance the following day, with
bubbles generously smuggled onboard by Mark
