Forty hours and a pleasant sail has brought us from the simple world of Tanna to the large marina in the bustling heart of Noumea, the capital city of New Caledonia. VERY French…baguettes and Carrefour….even more so than French Polynesia. A startling change of pace and style.

A couple of weeks here and we will make the final five day leg of our Pacific crossing to Bundaberg. Can't quite believe we are so near the end of this part of the journey.
