It is October 30 and a month in New Caledonia has blown by. The highlight of our time here was having Elizabeth and Brian with us for nearly 3 weeks as we explored some of the outer islands and anchorages.
We are now anchored at the far SW end of New Caledonia with David and Jacqui on Jackster and Glen and Cindy on Mystery Ship. We have spent much of the last couple months with Jackster and we are having our last hurrahs with them before they head to NZ and we cross to Bundaberg, Australia. It will be nice to have Mystery Ship (our identical sister ship) with us for the 800 nm / 4 day passage to OZ.
We will be heading out early tomorrow (Monday) morning and the forecast is for reasonable conditions with 2 – 2.5 meter seas from the E – SE. Following seas and light to moderate winds should give us a good ride.
