[status] Port Boise, New Caledonia. Very pleasant motor sail down from Lifou. Cleared biosecurity on beach at Baie de Gaactha, communicated via loud voices, novel.
Stopped outside Canal de la Havannah to let tsunami pass, non event but prudent. Looking for the elusive "Curried Prawns".

[status] We're close! We're outside havanna pass waiting for favourable conditions to enter.

A spring incoming tide with SW wind against it could make it quite bumpy. There's also the tsunami warning to consider, which could accelerate tidal flows.

We had a very quiet and easy night under motor.

Kirstine is writing up a list of our supplies, as it's likely they will take our fresh produce and any non NZ meat when we clear in.
