A good day of sailing with light to moderate Easterly winds, yet somehow despite not being very windy it was a good direction for Newt and we managed a record breaking 167 n/m! We should be at the half way point later on today having averaged 148.5 n/m per day so far. We have also had a change of plans re our arrival point, we were aiming for Fatu Hiva the closest island which is furthest South East, however it is not a recognised point of entry and going here would mean 3 long day sails through the Marquesas in the 10 or so days we plan to be there, so instead we are planning a long relaxing stop at Nuku Hiva (the Northern Island in the group) which has reportedly the best anchorages. The bad news is that it is 80 miles further away! Never mind! All is well on board.
24 Hour Run: 167 n/m
Total Distance Run: 1,484 n/m
Distance to Run: 1,608 n/m
