690nm from Bora Bora to Suvarov, easy conditions, lightish winds 156nm/day.
Suvarov is beautiful, anchoring is tricky 'cos of lots of coral heads and not much thick stuff on the bottom. Stayed two days here, disappointed to see that teh Cook Is govt haven;t taken any care to preserve anything of Tom Neale's residency here.
Its now a maritime reserve, and this year, for the first time, movements were strictly restricted to the anchorage and Anchorage Island.
Cook Is bureaucracy is here and one has to clear in and out, pay a fee....just for the atoll of Suvarov, crazy!
