Safely docked at SYC! Was mostly really good sailing broad reach for the last bit, apart from a sudden little rain squall with some lightning that had us dropping all sail for a short while. Crossed

A beautiful night thanks mostly to the almost full moon, including rise and set, enhanced by the Australian east coast fire smoke. On the down side we had bad current and light wind for most of the

It?s been a beautiful day, but not for sailing. We?ve been motor sailing on stbd gybe the whole day (mostly motoring, the sails haven?t been helping much. Around sunset the breeze picked up for a

As forecast the wind got very light and the motor started just before midnight. We motor sailed for a few hours but by this morning there?s not much wind pressure to play with and we are motoring

Not long after the previous update the wind faded a bit and all reefs were shaken out. Made a bit more north by poling out the jib and we had some excellent sailing with good wind but this afternoon

It was a really peaceful night with the small seas, favourable current and moderate SE breeze giving us easy miles. We both had good sleep whilst off watch and good dozing whilst on. Beautiful 3/4

Reaching in moderate winds and small seas continues. The wind has been varying between about 10 to 15 knots which makes for really comfortable reaching at TWA of about 100. We had unfavorable current

It was a perfect night of sailing on nice reaching angle of about 100 TWA and wind around 13 knots apart from one scary incident. As Lyn was waking me up at 4am for my watch the autopilot lost it and

Considering that the forecast was expecting us to be motoring all day until midnight it?s been a great day of sailing. The wind leaving New Cal was much stronger than expected, getting up to about 18

Departing New Cal for Southport after a nice last surf. Moderate Southerly breeze filling in, fetching along nicely with full sails.

A few miles from Noumea! Sails came down after entering the passage and we?ve been motoring with light wind from behind. It?s been a long night of navigating through the lagoon so we are both sleep

Just a few miles from Sarcelle passage, which we?ve decided to make our entry point due to wind angle and to avoid contrary tidal current later at Woodin canal. It?s been a perfect day weather wise

A good night of moderate wind and small seas as we continued to make good progress reaching along. At 0-dark 30 I noticed the vang was broken (boom gets held down still by the boom brake) but

Unfortunately the sun remains elusive, only making very brief and occasional appearances through the day. There was just enough with brightness through the clouds that the solar managed to hold even

We enjoyed a restful night of easy broad reaching in about 18 knots SE breeze. 2nd reef in main and slightly furled jib was enough for Jolifou to surge along nicely, surfing the waves. The seas are

Another good day of sailing, reaching along in SE wind ranging between 15 and 25 knots. The sun made an appearance in the early afternoon but then was lost again in patches of light rain. They aren?t

Our first day was a lot better sailing than expected with us picking up good SE breeze shortly after Cloudbreak pass. The forecast area of light wind in a trough close to Fiji thankfully never

Cleared out of Denarau and on our way to New Caledonia.

Entering Cloudbreak pass, it feels like coming home. As a surfer how good is it for your arrival point to be one of the best surf breaks in the world! On our way to clear at Denerau where we will
