Where we were (#39)
After the stop in Suva, Fiji, the cruise ship took advantage of the knowledge of the TravelQuest experts in our party to rush (at 25 knots) to make it to the center line of the eclipse and the small black dot seen to north of New Zealand. After the eclipse, the next stage to Tauranga, New Zealand was traversed at a modest 8 knots to stretch out the time.
