Tanna Vanuatu to Noumea 260 Miles , We set out in calm seas and on first day and by the second we were getting smashed by a squall after squall and 30 knot winds which eventually turned right on the nose when we were about 40 miles from the pass at the bottom of New Caledonia ,
It was hard to sleep when not on watch but once again Dancing Bear creaked and groaned but did her job and got us through ,A little wind damage to the Bimini.
Once through the pass we traveled 40 miles through the lagoon and had a pleasant sail 15 Knots Beam reach to Port Moselle Noumea and we arrived at the Port Moselle Marina .
Now sitting on the Dock checked in and getting a few jobs done ,Bottom scrape for algae ect ,Bimini repair and final checks before we leave for Brisbane Australia 780 miles to go .
