Back out innit again. This time it?s PJ, Andy Lang and Lord Robert the Davy. Left Noumea yesterday afternoon in a stiff breeze bound for Gladstone...out past the Amadee Lighthouse on the edge of the lagoon...beautiful and not a little hairy as the pass to the open ocean is narrow and the swell was up. Curling breakers rearing up on the edge of the pass. Have spent the night remembering the rhythms of passage making and Andy and Bob have worked through their first night at sea. Bit of queasy acclimatisation but otherwise OK for them. Biggish swells are impressive. A quiet night with wind which is a bit of a gift for the newbies, let them settle in with motor on half the night. Now sailing toward Bundy at decent pace in good wind that is slated to build to a bit too much wind in a couple of hours, so we will be reefing the hell out of her for the evening. Crew well and in good spirits.
