Passage To Niue
Day 5, 16 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 5
Log reading at noon is 16648
Noon to Noon distance through the water = 116 miles
Distance to go 592 miles
Noon to Noon distance over the ground = 111 miles
The wind maintained 12 to 16 knots until about 14.00 and then started to drop and at 17.30 with the wind between 4 to 6 knots and a boat speed of between 2 to 3 knots, the iron sail was turned on and we started to motor. So not a good day mileage wise.
Wildlife report
Again a few sea birds have been seen, and we are also now starting to see flying fish again, but not much else.
Ship report
Karacool (53 foot Cat) is now 18 miles ahead of us.
Next report at noon on the 17 June 12
