[status] Still heading north on New Caledonia's east cost.
Having just enjoyed our first soursop fruit we cannot understand why we've spent so long in the tropics and not discovered them before. We ate it at it's moment of perfection and it was heavenly.
Which that reminds me of an observation made by a friend - cruisers tend to stock up with wonderful fresh fruit and veg, then set off to sea, or to deserted coastlines, hoarding the stores for as long as possible, only eating anything when it starts to go off. Using the fresh stores before their final moments is a rare occurrence as it feels wrong to eat it if it's possible to keep it. Bizarre but true for a number of boats we know - including ourselves.
