Slow Boat to Fiji (08/09/09)

Position 19 degrees 54W, 177 degrees 24W.
Managed to sail about 40 miles yesterday,now wind has died so motor sailing. We expected 20-25 knots from the forecast, but that must be another weather forecasting myth. Luckily we filled up with duty free fuel inTonga, but we were hoping it would last us to New Zealand, but I think we'll have to use it now.
Anyway the calm seas and sun are nice. We've been having nothing but rough passages prior to this so we'll just kick back in the cockpit and read, keeping an eye out for whales, tankers and other yachties.
