POSITION 21:07S 164.31W

Spoke to the team this morning at 0730 hrs.  Hamish sounded bright and cheerful as they trundled along at 6 knots heading 280T in 10 – 15 knot SE breeze.

There was no wind over night so they motored all night and made a 24 hour run of 165 miles.

ETA Tongatapu is showing as 115 hours (same as yesterday) due to lower current boat speed.  They have 572 miles to go and have travelled 290 miles since leaving Raro.

We talked about the small depression that should pass to the south of them in the next 24 hours – Hamish is keeping a little north of the rhumb line to stay out of the 35+ knot breeze associated with this.

All well on board.
