Tuesday 9th July
Overnight we encountered a few small squalls. The wind slowly went from 22knts down to 10knts. A pod of 5 dolphins swam along side for a while this morning. The sea has been very calm 1/2m swell. At about 10.30am a squall came through raising the wind speed to 18knts Then moved from behind us where it had been all night to directly in front of us and dropped to 6knts. So we have been motoring all day. We have to make it to Wallis by 11am tomorrow so we catch the tide and are able to get inside the reef. If we are too late we have to wait for high tide Thursday, as we can't get in in the dark.

As there wasn't anything else to do Andrew thought he would have a go at practicing fishing. So it's baked beans on toast for tea tonight.
Tonight we have been treated to another spectacular sunset.
