Leaving Tonga

Well, it was a 2 hour process with a little bit of chinese fire drill thrown in to keep it interesting.(i wonder what the politically correct term for that is these days?  Lol i am showing my age).  We are officially checked out of Tonga and full of deisel. Evergreen heavy is ready for take off for Fiji. 
We are currently at anchor, still in VaVa'u..we have spent the afternoon finishing prep for crossing- running the watermaker  (which of course wasn't in a cooperative mood but Dennis finally beat it into submission), checking and filling oil, running the generator,  a quick vacuum, dinghy on deck, stowing all rhe miscellaneous stuff that explodes out into open space and now resting before dinner. 
The plan is to leave tomorrow morning which puts us in Savusavu Fiji Tuesday (local time, Monday N.Hemisphere).  Knock wood the winds are looking like a friendly down wind/ behind the beam passage. Fingers crossed. 

Will post as we go via SSB.
