[status] Land ahoy as we passed south of Ile Mare of the loyalty islands. 54nm to go to the havanna pass. Aiming to arrive at first light to time the tide and the 40nm around to Noumea.

Quiet, warm, lazy day with winds at 10kn or under. We're motor sailing and expect to continue thru the night.

We still have another boat with us, no doubt with the same plan. It's currently less than a mile behind us. Company for the night.

Highlight of the day happened as I was about to start writing this .. a whale breached a 30m behind us!! It followed us for about 10mins and was gone. Pretty cool :)

Beef rendang, them into the night watches from 7pm. All well on board.
