Day 11

Monday 11th May 2009 17:00

Position: 22deg 20min South, 176deg 49min West � 120 miles off Tongatapu.

The little bit of wind we have (about 5 kts ) has turned to the north east and is heading us. We have been under motor since 7 this morning. We were doing better than 5 kts but no more � so the idea of making land fall by tomorrow evening is starting to wane. We have been able to observe that stationary front over Tonga for the last few days and we have just started to enter its area. The humidity is suddenly up and there are little drops of rain. There is nothing really to be newsy about except we are all very excited about arriving in Tonga � enough already.

Skipper.
