Passage To Niue
Day 8, 19 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 8
Log reading at noon is 17129
Noon to Noon distance through the water = 173 miles
Distance to go 165 miles
Noon to Noon distance over the ground = 149 miles
The wind maintained about 25 knots, with gusts up to 32 knots. This has been maintained right through until noon local time today.
So with this wind we have made an excellent mileage figure for the 24 hours.
We hope to arrive late Wednesday afternoon or early evening if the wind holds up.
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 49 miles ahead of us.
Next report at noon on the 20 June 12
