Back in Noumea
We got back to Noumea last Friday. We had an excellent, short, fast passage. The wind was around 30kts but as it was a broad reach (almost behind us), it was very comfortable. Here in Noumea, we have readied the boat for departure back to Coffs harbour. The washing is all done (by the laundry) and provisioning is finished. We MIGHT even have fixed a pesky leak that we have had for 9 years. There have been six contributors to the leak, previously found and fixed, but still it persisted. With some idle time at the Marina and a strong hose, we have found and fixed a seventh. Here's hoping it is the last one!
We had hoped to leave today but it appears a Tropical Low will form in a couple of days so we have deferred and might now leave early to mid next week. Should the tropical depression not form, we will head off earlier.
In the mean time, we are catching up with some things previously missed such as the Noume Museum and the Maritime Museum.
Regds,
Dave & Penny
