Just anchored in Doking Bay after a week in Wè. Just a little rolly here but not bad. The water is beautiful!

We had a nice overnight passage and are now tied up in the Wè Marina on Lifou. Life is good!

Leaving for Lifou in a couple of hours, probably. We'll see what the wind does.

We're in Port Boise and maybe going in to the resort for lunch is this squall passes by then. It's clouding up... The front's a coming!

This is our second day (and second bay) anchored up at the top of Baie du Prony. It's been a great place to hide from the wind, but little progress is being made towards our NC circumnavigation. Oh ... Read More

Yep, another ten miles today. This is getting to be a kind of nice habit. We're anchored in a really nice little bay (Pilote). It's been a beautiful day here.

Well, we made it another ten miles today in our quest to circumnavigate New Cal! I did the math... 2 + 3 is 5, carry the 1, that's 51, times two for gravimetric factors, that's 102 days to make this ... Read More

After only six days in Noumea, we headed out. We didn't get very far. Noserlies came up at 17 to 20 knots and we tucked in to a marginal little anchorage for the night. We'll head out again tomorrow ... Read More

We're in! We anchored in the harbor last night about midnight. Not a bad passage, all in all, and we made it in seven and a half days.

Headin' fo da barn! We're about 24 miles from turning in Passe Boulari. From there, it's about 15 miles to Noumea. We'll go in at night and anchor. Tomorrow morning, we'll check in. At least that's ... Read More

We just had us a real gullywasher, by golly! And while it's pretty warm here, or at least comfortable, that rain was COLD! 145 miles to go. We don't know if we want to try to get in Sunday night or ... Read More

Motoring along in about 3 or 4 knots of wind with pretty flat seas. A couple hours ago, a larger, long period swell from the SE replaced our SW swell. We're 277 miles out from entering Boulari Pass ... Read More

Wind is getting lighter as we head into the STR. We're expecting to motor for a couple of days. Mr. GPS says we have 401.2 miles to go to the pass.

We're moving along nicely, if not in the exact direction we'd like to travel. We're keeping the wind on the beam and counting on it to back so we can head to Noumea.

This has been a pretty nice boat ride so far. We're motor sailing into light WNW winds and small swells from AAD (Almost All Directions). It's getting warmer!

Having a pretty nice sail today and making very good time. I think it's already warmer (or is that just what we want to believe?!).

Leaving Opua bound for Noumea (probably!). We'll miss you NZ.

We're in Opua, waiting for weather to go to New Caledonia, or maybe Vanuatu, or maybe Minerva, Tonga or Fiji. At this point, we'll be happy to go where the wind blows, that is, if it ever quits ... Read More

Not far from Opua (and pizza) now. We'll slow down a bit too try to make the non slack tide while pulling into a berth.
