At 8am the winds died to less than 5 knots so we decided to
motor and charge the batteries. The forecast for the rest of the day was not
looking good so it was likely that we would have to motor the rest of the way
to Niue.
We finally picked up a mooring buoy just south of the dock
in Niue, next to our friends on Red Thread. Even though the water was 90ft deep
we could see the bottom clearly just like it was 10 feet deep. No sooner than
we had tied off the mooring lines two male humpback whales surfaced a few
hundred feet from the boat, both slapping their tales is a show of power to win
over the affections of a female. Its great to see the whales again!
