Dunbae Pass, New Caledonia
25 October 2012
At last we have a weather window, and at 5:00a.m with Just Jane and Samson, we pull anchor and begin our journey.
As we entered the Dunbae Pass, a fleet of Australian Navy ships were coming in, and all the marines were standing on deck looking at us. It was not long until I realized why. The sea became one huge washing machine of huge swell from all over! Even for us in a cat, we were tossed around all over! Craig was getting a good introduction on the sea worthiness of dear Happy Cat!
We expect the journey to take 6 days and nights.
