Easy conditions to Noumea

Just a brief update via the HF radio: we are a little over halfway to Noumea from Port Vila in a nice set of conditions. We have an Easterly breeze of 10 - 14 knots, with swells less than a metre and full sun - full main and genoa are giving us 6 knots of boat speed so we are comfortable and happy. We caught a 1.6 metre wahoo leaving Vanuatu yesterday morning and had a couple of fillets of this lovely fish last night - much more to get through! We'll put up a proper post on arrival in Noumea. Cheers from us!
