[status]  Report at 0830 local time Friday.  Anchored at Baie de Orphelinat, near Noumea.  Spent four nights at Ilot Maitre and enjoyed snorkelling with turtles and watching them from the deck.  Moved across to Baie de Orphelinat on Wednesday to catch up with our new friends on Emotion and to welcome our old buddies Jo and Arnold, aboard their boat Black Star, who have just sailed here from Australia. 
 
A front came through this morning with winds gusting over 30 knots.  Later today we will head northwards, and find a nice anchorage just up the coast.
