Great day motoring around the outlying islands of the Cavalli Passage (Tony is getting brave!) following huge shoals of fish and their associated flocks of sea birds... then a walk the next day

Out sailing again and this time on north from the Bay of Islands. Our first day we travelled to Urupukapuka with the intention of doing the walks we had seen on our day trip but on our arrival

The 23rd saw us back at Opua but this time on a mooring for the week. The ICA rally ended with a fayre, car boot and raffle draw. Harry and Josh were pipped at the post in the kids fishing

All the boats in the Pacific are heading either North or South to avoid the cyclones and so (despite seeing no one else as we crossed) we have arrived in New Zealand with a host of other boats. We

We are here!!! ...Tony is home! So we did our crossing of some 870 miles in just over 100 hours with no major disasters other than the demise of our auxiliary battery charger... Even Tony with his

A great 10 days with Mike and now Hannah and Blake too... We have revisited favourite spots in New Caledonia - watched Monsieur Chien fish off the dock, swam with turtles and sharks, revisited the

Another public holiday here with Noumea closed so back to Ilot Amedee with Mike - a great second visit with some amazing snorkelling - turtles, white and black tipped reef sharks, a spotted moray eel

<p>A night at Ilot Maitre before heading into Noumea to collect Mike... kite surfing heaven...</p>

Left early to sail up from the Isle of Pines towards Grand Terre. We moored off Ilot Casey, an island in the mouth of the Bay of Prony for two nights - the site of a deserted and derelict hotel. It's

We arrived in the Ile des Pines on Friday - highly recommended by all sailing in this area and with good reason - another beautiful island and true to its name covered in the iconic New Caledonian

Back to Mato as a stop over on our way to the Isle of Pines - our favourite place so far - and we were delighted to find that by chance Nautibuoy had arrived a few hours before us. A great evening

After setting off from Noumea we had a change of heart and headed for the lighthouse at Amedee Island - we were desperate to try and find happy wild turtles (as opposed to the rather sad ones in the

Back in Port Moselle where we finally collected the last of Harry's school books from the DHL office here. They have followed us for the better part of 4 months - always a week behind... it's lovely

Back to Noumea to escape from the forthcoming wind and initially we anchored in the Bay De Citron but this still proved pretty lively - a couple of trips into shore left us soaked so we headed back

<p>A wonderful few days in the Bay of Prony with Barry and Wayne visiting hot pools (well, tepid!), walking up to the lighthouse, exploring the mangroves and walking to a waterfall...</p>

Back to Grand Terre to escape the wind. We struggled to set our anchor safely in the Bay of Prony and so spent a couple of nights on the edges of the bay with brief forays ashore to get covered in

The 4th saw us head further south again to a group of 5 tiny islands - we anchored off Ilot Ua. I think this has been my favourite place so far... White sand beaches, ospreys, turtles and a tern
