[status] Tomorrow Friday 20th October we leave New Caledonia, Jillian flies home at 8.00 am and Malakite departs with Glen, David and Martin on board. David crewed up to Tonga with Glen and Martin is a friend of David's. The passage back to NZ will take approximately 6 days, with a reasonable amount of wind to leave New Caledonia and calmer conditions closer to NZ. We have had an amazing adventure enjoying some of the best the South Pacific has to offer. It has been a bit sad to say goodbye to some really great people we have shared our time and adventures with, but we have made some good friends.
