Current Position is 20:59.967S 173:42.640E

We are getting closer all the time and are now 134NM from the entrance waypoint into Nukalofa!!!  YAY

 

Very comfortable on board – motor sailing at between 5.5 – 6.2kts in calm seas.  The wind is supposed to die and move around from the NW to the SW during the course of the day as the upper level trough passes over and we expect very light winds for the rest of the passage.  At the current rate of progress still expecting to arrive sometime tomorrow so still all on track.

 

Today being Monday is wash day except we are getting the wash – so very much looking forward to having a shower.

Not sure if we mentioned but it is rather warm on board with the bilge rats reporting temperatures of 28-29C so I am sure we are both getting pretty stinky by now....

 

Will report more once we have settled in at Tonga after clearing customs etc
