I haven't been to Tonga but I do know many people who work their way around the world by working on other cruising boats. Hair cuts, mechanic, carpentry, canvas/sail repair. I haven't seen any negative reaction or resentment by the locals about working on the other cruising boats, (but could be wrong). I have seen resentment when cruisers go ashore and take jobs from the locals.
