[Status] Arrived!

Completed our first real passage. Now moored in beautiful clear waters with lots of corals and fish.

Passage for me was nothing short of exceptional. Feeling nature changes as one travels into different world.

Sailing in short - we traveled whole passage with 2 reefs in main and 40 to 100% Genoa. Safety first. Lagoon 400 shines with this setup in heavier weather.

Day one was great, lots of wind and waves and speed however boat and a/p handled very well.

[Status] Day 4

After period of good sailing, we hit 20-30 kn headwinds and 3m waves on the nose this morning.
Motorsailing beating to wind 4 to 6 kn to minimize impact of slamming and improve comfort. Uncomfortable but not dangerous.
Tanja got seasick yesterday, however today improvement even though conditions worse.
Else we are both well. Boat no issues.
According to predictwind we should arrive on the reef entry in front of noumea Sunday evening. We will wait daylight to cross reef entry.
