Ben and Ashley sail Nahoa from Tonga to Fiji during the onset of cyclone season, racing to reach a haulout before conditions deteriorate.0:39 The passage runs through repeated squalls — pitch-black nights with lightning every 10 seconds, thunder shaking the boat, and wind spiking to 25 knots — while GFS and ECMWF models on Starlink both flag a potential cyclone developing north of Nui.1:20 Preparing for Fiji's reputation as one of the strictest border-control nations in the South Pacific, the crew researches recent cruiser accounts, including a detailed report from a boat called Cream Puff whose crew of 30 years described a 10-officer ransacking at Vuda Point Marina three weeks after initial clearance.14:11 Ben outlines cruiser rights during inspections: ask for officer names, accompany officials through the boat, film the search, open lockers yourself, and request written receipts for anything taken.16:39 The passage also produces a marlin hookup and multiple mahi-mahi, wahoo, and skipjack catches.8:54 Clearing in at Vuda Point Marina, the actual inspection is brief and courteous — biosecurity confiscated bananas for fruit flies but left remaining produce aboard, and customs did not search the boat or charge for declared alcohol.25:26
