Baie de Prony. Prony Township is the remnants of the 19th century penal settlement/old logging station and well worth the visit. Whilst returning to our boat in our dinghy we encountered two

Baie d'Ui We tucked ourselves away at Baie d'Ui because the winds made the coral islands untenable for anchoring and we've had a surprisingly good time. The water was flat, calm and very well

Port Moselle Marina - Noumea The trip back to Noumea was as good as the one north, although with fewer stops. The highlight for us was Isle Ndukue. We've left our poor boat alone at Port

Baie des Citrons. Our last stop before returning to Noumea was Baie des Citrons, another pretty sandy beach, but this one has cafes, restaurants and bars all along so we finally found our bar on

Anse Kuendu - Ile Nou. A short walk to Fort Tereka. We were looking forward to our stay in Anse Kuendu on Nou Island, close to Noumea. The anchorage was as beautiful as we expected but very small

Ile Ndukue With its beautiful circular bay, its rocky hill that we climbed and its unexpectedly beautiful snorkeling beside the rocky northern beach is one of ur favourites. We followed the advice

Ile Lepredour We anchored beside the deer sanctuary where our guide book said we should be able to see deer. Unfortunately they were all hiding, assuming they are still there, so we didn't see

Ilot Maitre. A lovely small island with a very nice resort, which of course we thought we should investigate. Their pool deck, where yachties are welcome is a top spot to have a drink and watch the

Anchored at Noumea We cast off our lines at the Manly marina and were on our way to New Caledonia. Our previous trips have been restricted by time and we ended up fighting strong winds and large
