Nearly half way 365 miles from Brisbane and nearly half way to Noumea. We will cross the half way point today and celebrate accordingly. Great sailing conditions so far but lighter winds are expected today and tomorrow so motor sailing at present. Had an unexpected visit from Dolly the booby (it's a seabird) who perched on the bow of our boat from dusk to dawn and enjoyed a free ride part way to Noumea. Crossed paths and made contact with Tony and Vicki on L'attitude this morning. They departed Southport in their catamaran same day as us. All enjoying the voyage. Only incident so far is our radar is not cooperating. We suspect a flying fish who landed heavily on the dodger may be the culprit but he refused to make a statement. Sent from Iridium Mail & Web.
