Passage To Niue
Day 3, 14 June 2012
We left Bora Bora at 10.00 local time which is - 11 hours (behind) UTC (GMT), on Tuesday the 12 June 12, heading for our next island called Niue.
Day 3
Log reading at noon is 16392
Noon to Noon distance = 106 miles
Distance to go 834 miles
The wind has increased to 12 to 16 knots.
We now have just the bag of fear up (The Parasailor ) and a very small amount of main to balance the boat, and we are making between 5 to 7 knots in the right direction.
The wind / weather forecast is for the wind speed to stay the same over the next few days, so our passage speed should be maintained, we hope!!
Wildlife report
Just a few sea birds, but nothing else.
Ship report
Karacool (53 foot Cat) is now 19 miles ahead of us.
Next report at noon on the 15 June 12
