I spoke to Hamish about 1300hrs Saturday as they motored round the western side of Tongatapu towards the W entrance to the harbour 11 miles to their north.
They had a tough night sheltering in the lee of island from 50 knot winds - however they were in flat water so kept anchor watch all night whilst taking turns to rest.  I imagine they were very pleased to be out of the waves.
All safe and well and looking forward to a rest after the toughest passage so far.
Hamish will hopefully be online within the next couple of days while waiting for a weather window for the last run south.
