We left Rarotonga for the sail to Tonga relieved at
having left unusual weather
 and a most uncomfortable anchorage
 we had no wind, then fair wind and finally strong
wind before arriving at Tonga at daybreak
 but not before experiencing a fantastic
dawn
     Before we left Rarotonga the capacitor on the
watermaker erupted
 but no long term damage done as we managed to
replace it.
It was in Tonga that we had the stern tube leak,
temporarily repaired by the Aussie with a tinny
 after having
been towed back to Neiafu by Camelot Nicholas Trefusis had joined us the previous
day---an exciting start to his cruise!
We left Neiafu for Fiji the following
day
