We had quite a rough passage over to New Caledonia
with lots of rain |
|
|
|
|
Rather crowded with 3 of us- one on each bunk and 1 on
the floor in the middle as it was too rough to sleep in the bow cabin
|
The lighthouse on the southern tip of the main island
which does have a Caledonian look about it and the weather would
certainly remind you of Scotland

|
|
Rust coloured cliffs probably indicting the presence
of some of the many minerals that are mined here
|
Preparing to drop the anchor

|
Oh Dear! Our very old mainsail gave up the ghost on
the way over and we couldn't put up the new one as the sail slides were
too big
|
Erik with an angle grinder fixing that particular
problem

|
Not a block of flats but a cruise ship coming into
Noumea
|
With Hélène
on board Brio
|
|
We are running out of energy and enthusiasm now and
Noumea is an expensive French city so we have a farewell meal ashore
with Hélène and then set
off on the last leg to
AUSTRALIA |
