Still making steady preogress towards Niue. Logged
180nm over ther 24hrs to noon. Quite wild last night with wind up to 33kts, but
moderate sea/swell. Luckily I put in the 3rd reefing line before we left Bora
Bora as we were triple reefed until late this morning. We are trying to keep up
the speed without stressing the yacht as we will have a day or two of light
winds in 3-4 days time. The wind has moderated but we still have two reefs
in the main and a shortend poled out headsail. Had some delicious chocolate
brownies for morning tea. They almost slid behind the oven while
cooling!
830nm to Niue
