Position Reports are being returned to me by YoRepts unposted so I will now include it in my day’s journal report. INTENTION is 31.03 deg. South 179.15 deg East Distance made good toward Tonga is only 46 Nautical Miles in the last 24 hours Average Boat speed is only 1 to 2 Knots
The winds are so light they barely keep steerage way on INTENTION With 8 hours of complete calm during the night. At this rate it will be weeks before reaching Tonga. Since ‘Change is the one thing you can always count on’, I think and am counting that it will not stay this way the whole passage. The gods of the winds have played tricks like this on mariner’s before.
