tuesday evening -- five hours out
07 October 2014 | 22 28.3'S:165 57.9'E, 25 miles from Noumea; 800 miles to the Brisbane River
overcast, cool, and windy
We're five hours away from Noumea New Caldonia and as it starts to get dark, you can just barely make out the tops of the hills of the island on the horizon. The wind has been up (as forecast) and the seas are a bit lumpy with some fairly large swells rolling through. As they say on the SSB nets, all's well on board.
Hamburger steaks with three pepper sauce and mashed potatoes for dinner.
