Not a bad day... better than expected with lighter wind than called for and a pretty comfortable ride. We're 217 miles out from the Navula pass. We still have some room to turn north when the trades

Not too bad... kinda like a pleasant visit to the dentist for a root canal. The wind went just a little west of south and that was nice. We'll make a slight left in another 60 miles or so and that

Yesterday was great. Today, not so much (but not so bad either). Seas are pretty confused with left over swell from the east and building from the south. Wind is still on our beam. Gusts to about 25

This has been a nice start to a passage. Calm last night - motored. Not bad this morning - motor sailing still but we may furl the engine soon. Staying south so we can fall off when the trades come

Departing Noumea for Vuda Point Marina, Fiji in a couple of hours. Crazy? Yea, we know. Wish us luck. Will update here while underway.

Guess I forgot to update YIT when we got back to Noumea - so busy with French wine, French cheese, French food! We're at Port Moselle, tied up to the dock. Squally and windy tonight.

Well, that didn't work out so well (Ilot Mato). We stayed about two hours and it looked like it could get very rough as the wind backed, so off we went, for our second anchorage of the day. Now

Anchored at Ilot Mato after running from wind chop this morning as the wind backed. Another pretty place.

We are anchored at Ilot Kouare in the lagoon at New Caledonia. Wow! Beautiful! And what a nice trip down. The worst was when we turned south for the last two miles and had to beat into almost 6 knots

We're anchored in Kuto on Ile des Pins, New Caledonia. We'll post more after we've had a chance to explore a bit.

We're anchored in 9 feet of water in Baie de Gadji. It's windy but flat calm in here. Sitting in the most beautiful, powder-blue water amongst three small islands for protection. (Hey, it's OK, we

Hook down on Ile des Pins near L'Maridian Hotel. Wow!!! This is beautiful. We left Proney at 4 AM and arrived here before noon - a beautiful broad reach almost all the way. The wind's supposed to

Heading out to Ile des Pins today, via Prony Bay. We hope to stay out at the island and in the lagoon for two or three weeks. The fridge is packed and we're ready to go!

We're tied up to the dock in Noumea and already through our first bottle of champagne! It's so good to be in. And we beat the swell!

Posted: Fri, 15 May 2015 - 06:09

Well, the big swell must have stopped for a long black on the way up 'cause they ain't here yet! We're motoring in flat seas and are 10 miles from the entrance to the lagoon at Passe de Dumbea

Choppy. Bouncy. Slow. We're motoring. Sailing. Motor-sailing. Nothing works. We're 137 miles out from the reef passage. At this rate, we'll be lucky to get there within our lifetimes! OK, seriously

What a nice motor boat ride we're having. We motored almost all of yesterday and looks like we'll motor the rest of the way. We'll keep going slow and try to get in Friday morning.

Wow, nice sail. A little rolly, but nice - and fast! We flew for a while yesterday. But the current is taking its toll on this passage. We've lost 72 miles to current in the 700 miles we've covered

Surprise northerlies last night - no fun at all, but not too strong. Now, we're sailing along nicely in the 17 knot westerlies. Still 1.7 billion miles to go! (478 actually - I never exaggerate!)

Posted: Sun, 10 May 2015 - 10:56

Nice motoring conditions. Wind played with picking up but as soon as I set some more sail, it died again. Big, slow swell. In the last gribs I got, I don't see the westerlies that I thought might get
