Day 2 (At Sea)

Really starting to get into the groove now – lots of taking in the holiday atmosphere.

Musical Deckchairs

Nothing is being taken too seriously including a wine tasting session @ 11am. Plenty of time to lean on the rail and watch time passing “bye”

Time Passing

Sunday turns out to be a delightful day with a very pleasant easterly trade wind. The gentle swell is just big enough to remind us that we’re still at sea. The waves breaking sound like we’re at the beach.

Glance at the chart on our way to lunch. The predicted cyclone path has shifted towards the west but still a long way to the south east of New Caledonia.

Cyclone Tracking

I finally get an internet connection today after a false start on Saturday. The satellite dishes above the Dome remind me of Pine Gap – there’s another one on the stern as well.

Tomorrow we visit Noumea and step ashore
