The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.

we have not moved far, but a very secure, sheltered anchorage, or be it 35m deep. Nukuaeta Island
weather has deteriorated significantly since Tueday, torrential rain ( water tanks full ) wind gusting to 35kts.
the sea on the reef has to be seen to be believed, Breaker Bay in a big southerly comes to mind.
easing today, hopefully, if Mr GRIB is right.
water temp still 32 degrees.

Still in Noumea as it is still blowing- as it seems to be in the entire pacific due to stationary highs. Oh well, the economy of Noumea is improving as we stock up on french shoes and clothes. The Bastille Day parade was very different to those in French Polynesia. David missed the hip swaying hula girls but enjoyed the military display. Very spic and well armed. All branches of the military and police were represented as well as the fire brigade and a pipe band- seen practicing near the marina which alerted us to the parade.
