[s] Finally a break in the weather to allow us to sail to Noumea. Had a great few days relaxing in Baie du Nord, Mare Island. The snorkeling was amazing with close encounters with turtles, eagle rays and so many species of reef fish. Sailed this morning and anchored for the day at the beautiful, Plage de Pede, also on Mare Island. Lovely beach surrounded by rocks and caves. Tonight we are continuing the sail to Noumea. Girls will sleep through the entire sail and wake up there! We will check in to New Caledonia tomorrow and be allowed to pull our Q-flag down and set foot on land ... almost a week since we've touched land!
