[weather] As at 20.00 NZST Weds 15/10: 12 - 15 knots E. 1016.5mb, rising. 5% cloud cover. Moderate seas, swell 0.5m but we have some protection from the outer reef around New Cal.
[status] Finally got away from Noumea at 14.00 today, Weds. Cleared the north pass through the reef at 16.30. Just had the sun go down and enjoying steady sailing pretty close to the rhumb line. Cheers, David & Grete and Steve and Drew

The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
