Weather: 16 knots SE, cloud cover 50% After a brief rest on anchor in Ile Des Pines, we set sail this morning to Noumea to check in. It is beautiful in New Caledonia, albeit a bit wet. We would like to thank David and Patricia of Gulf Harbour Radio with all our hearts, for being there for us cruisers when we need it most, at sea, feeling lonely. It is always good to hear Patricia's cheerful voice, whatever the weather report may be. Thank you beautiful people, see you in a couple of years!
