[status] Land ahoy as we passed south of Ile Mare of the loyalty islands. 54nm to go to the havanna pass. Aiming to arrive at first light to time the tide and the 40nm around to Noumea.

Quiet, warm, lazy day with winds at 10kn or under. We're motor sailing and expect to continue thru the night.

We still have another boat with us, no doubt with the same plan. It's currently less than a mile behind us. Company for the night.

All well on board. Calm conditions, wind from behind so just a gentle sail. 105nm to go to Lifou island, the main island in the Loyalty Island group of New Caledonia. Looking forward to croissants and coffee, maybe followed by some baguettes and bordeaux. Will arrive tomorrow :-)
