Another perfect anchorage. Oysters, crabs and sea snakes. A very different island. Thousands of fish to snorkel amongst . Nothing table size Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.

We cast off our lines at the Manly marina and were on our way to New Caledonia. Our previous trips have been restricted by time and we ended up fighting strong winds and large seas to the point where we joked that we never sailed with the wind - always against. This time we were waiting for the right weather window and after only a week’s delay set off in light south easterly winds. First though, we organised for Australian Border Patrol to come to the boat, go through our paperwork, stamp our passports and clear us out of Australia.
