Oh, just forget what I said about our arrival time in Niue being "just right". I forgot to factor in Barry being a man. While I was peacefully reading about the birds of Niue Barry went on deck to "tweak the sails before I go to sleep for the night". Seems he had a compulsion to take the reefs out of both sails and now we are going 7.5 knots and our ETA Niue is 1:30 am. I must admit it feels good to be so smoothly speeding along, but . . . I have this nagging rational thought going on.
Sept 11 The day's chore was to clean out the composting toilet - a job we have been dreading. It was not bad at all! The thing does its job just as advertised when only 2 people are using it. We dumped the contents into the ocean, cleaned it and put in new peat moss. It didn't smell bad. You would think that one day humanity will determine that it is insane to be pooping into scarce clean drinking water and then flushing it.
We have safely skirted Antiope Reef without running into it. Now just a short ways to Niue. Barry rolled up most of the head sail so new ETA is between 3 and 8 am Wednesday morning.
