Day 4 Bora Bora to Tonga (via Niue??)

Another overcast day with lots of wind and rolly seas. We had to use some of emergency ration Uncles Bens instant rice for tea because we could only face being in the galley for the 2 mins it takes to cook. Forecast is for the winds to ease tomorrow and we woke up to blue skies this morning and less wind so looking better.
We have decided not to stop at Palmerston. There is a cold front coming through after the weekend and if we stop at Palmerston we will either be there (which isnt very protected and the mooring buoys are slightly dubious!!) or one route to Niue. If we carry on we can be in Niue before it arrives were we might be more sheltered at the buoys are definitely better.

Day 4 distanced traveled: 150n/m
Total distance traveled: 563 n/m
Distance remaining to Niue: 480n/m
