[status]Enjoyed a glorious day of light wind spinnaker sailing yesterday to reach Kouare Island, New Cal's southern most island bar one other tiny one - yes, we are further south than the famous Isle de Pins! Kouare is the island closest to the outer fringing reef so if the wind stays settled we hope to head out to this reef to snorkel and snare some dinner. Here with 2 other boats - we enjoyed their company while sipping 'Kiapa Cocktails' at sunset last night.
