We hauled anchor and started the process of leaving Tonga. This ment going to the wharf outside customs. We were unable to tie up at the wharf as there were already two boats there. So we anchored and after a while it was obvious the two boats weren’t just waiting for customs but had other issues. So we put the dinghy in the water and rowed to shore. We went for a last quick walk to the fresh market and said goodbye to our favourite locals before heading to the customs office that looks more like a warehouse. The customs warehouse are very high tech : the customs lady sat at a desk installed art the very entrance of the warehouse in front of the wharf.Each time the wind blows all the paperwork flies everywhere and we had to help her hold on to it.. We also had to pay harbour fees. That lady had a little office in the corner of the warehouse. Once all the paper work was done we rowed back to Imagine and lifted the dinghy back on deck.
We hauled anchor for the last time in Tonga and headed out of the harbour down the channel and out into the deep blue ocean.
