Welcome to Niue

We left Bora Bora on July 30th and had a really wonderful passage to Niue. I somehow managed to add the days wrong and it was only a 7 day, 6 hour passage...not 9 days. The math person can add, really. I had an earpatch to prevent seasickness and didn't really feel all that sick but did end up feeding the fishes a couple times.

The winds were mostly cooperative with only one day/night of high winds and only a couple hours of light winds. I got to change some headsails (no rollerfurling on Kyanos!) and didn't have any fiascos in the kitchen!

Ben cooked some pretty kickin' meals--the most memorable for me being bacon sandwiches. Bacon, bbq sauce and baguette: YUM! We had stocked up on a lot of canned ready-to-go meals in Bora Bora. They're not the healthiest but they taste good and they're easy :)

Other than some whales circling the boat near Palmerston and some dolphins Ben saw, I didn't see all that much wildlife. That's ok since it's "whale season" here in Niue. Meaning we should see a lot here. Hopefully humpbacks!
