Day 7 Bora Bora to Tonga (via Niue??)

At 5pm the wind filled in and we could turn the engine off and sail. We had a lovely nights sailing with a nice breeze and little swell. By 8.30am it became clear that if we ran the engine to give us abit extra speed (0.5 knots) we could make it into Niue before dark so we turned the engine on - if we didnt make it by dark we would have to slow down and have another night at sea as we didnt want to try and pick up a mooring buoy in the dark as there is very little moonlight at the mo.

Day 7 distance traveled: 141n/m
Total distance traveled: 992n/m
Distance left to Niue: 52n/m
