We are motoring with glassy gently rolling seas. The nice breeze we had last night has faded. Yesterday was also a good breeze at night and then very light from sunrise. Beautiful days with large smooth swell from various directions making changing valleys and smooth sailing. With about 195nm to go, at present course and speed we should arrive in Opua late tomorrow afternoon. All is well on board.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The wind has backed around to northerly and so is a bit slower going but still easy sailing. After my complaining of adverse current yesterday, it turned around and helped us ever since. Now it is about .5 knot from the NE. Yesterday up to 2 knots. All is well on board.

We have an adverse current of .5-1 kn but nice wind on the beam. We are still double reefed but about to take them out. No wind for a stretch yesterday afternoon but have been going well since about 1800 yesterday. All is well on board.
All is well on board.
Hi Frank, by the time you
We are anchored at Baie Ue. This is a deep bay surrounded by high hills. There is an interesting river at the head which is nice dinghy ride through a mangrove forest. There is also a small copra plantation. We will continue back to Noumea today. All is well here.
We are anchored back at Ua. I had to watch the petrels coming back to roost again! Light wind from the SSE and flat sea in the anchorage. Had some nice swims yesterday as well. We will start moving back toward Noumea today. Either Amadee or Prony. All is well here.
We are anchored atKouare just a few miles south of Ua. Calm and flat sea in the anchorage. Lot of sea birds nesting here like in Ua. Nice snorkeling,cool clear water, and flat calm anchorage this morning. Very nice!
We are still anchored at Ilot Ua in the south lagoon but will probably sail to Kouare just a few miles south of here later. Sunny with light breeze in the anchorage. Lot of sea birds nesting here and 2 pairs of Ospreys as well. Nice snorkeling,cool clear water, and breezey flat ancohorage. We are still the only boat. Very nice! -
