Just to let you know that we arrived here today. We were about 17 miles from the Amedee lighthouse at 0200 today and hove to. Then at 0700 when we had some light we got going again and headed for the Boulari entrance. A very fraught approach because we had rain and 20 + knot winds with almost zero visibility so picking up the channel entrance with huge waves breaking on the reef either side as we approached induced a very tense feeling. However, we found the entrance after a while and once through it was another 15 mile distance to Noumea. It blew over 20 knots all the way in and it was difficult picking up channel markers but actually easier once through the reef than finding one's way to Whangarei!!
We are now in the Port Moselle Marina and going ashore for an eagerly awaited meal. Then some sleep - probably a long one. We will be blogging all the complete gory details in a few days - we know you can't wait.
And finally happy birthday, Morgan from Aunty Jean and Jim.
Lots of love
Jim and Jean (Gina)
