18/6/16 – 30/6/16
In part 1 of this blog we shared our voyage
to Noumea and Vanuatu on the very big ship Pacific
Pearl. Now on our small ship Calista we
were about to follow in her wake. With Marcel, his son Phillipe and two other
crew, on Diddys we are about to clear
Border Security and make our way out of Moreton Bay and head east by north east
for Noumea, 770 nautical miles away as the gannet flies. We suspect that Diddys with greater length and a crew of
four will not be with us for long.

Our preparations have been extensive, and
when space and internet permits, we will share a little of our voyage across
the Coral Sea to Noumea, and our travels in the islands, and atolls. We look forward
to bringing this to you, and will publish when we can. Our final few days have
been challenging in analysing the weather models that relate to this passage.
We are hoping that fair winds will prevail.
Can't wait to see your next blog; we're excited! Fair winds then.
