15:41.3S 154:28.5W 172 miles covered, 523
miles to go
There is only 12 knots of wind so we are plodding
along in the middle of the fleet at between 5 and 6 knots. We have our
fishing lines out, but we are going too slow to stand much chance of
catching anything. The fish can mosey up to Jezebel, take a look and
decide she is not as tasty as they first thought. Actually Jezebel is
getting a bit long in the tooth and maybe that is why she is no longer as
attractive to the fish. Yesterday Bertie
was giving her a new skirt to try and spruce her up a bit, but she broke in
two. Perhaps it is time to introduce daughter of Jezebel to the water.
If you go directly between Bora Bora and Suwarrow
then you hit an island called Motu One. Fortunately this was pointed out
in the sailing notes and so we plotted a course around it rather than through
it. Right now we are just passing Motu One, so here is a
scintillating picture of some palm trees in the
distance. |
