Ahoy All,
We manged to break away from the comfort
of the marina at We late this moring and have now moved across to anchor at
Luengoni, which is at the eastern end of Lifou Island. This will allow us a
better wind angle to head across to the Isle De Pines either tomorrow or Friday,
depending on the weather. As an aside, it was pretty cool last night; we all
climbed under our doonas for the first time in five months.
The decision to make straight for We was borne out
today as there were four of the rally yachts competing for two berths in the
tiny marina as we left this morning. Sometimes crowds are not the best
thing!
This bay is absolutely gorgeous, another one out of
the brochure. In behind the reef which we had to negotiate to get in, the water
is a beautiful turquoise blue, offset by the green of the fringing reef and the
deep blue of the ocen beyond. The beach is a bright white with dense green
vegetation beyond. In short, another tropical paradise.
Will let you know how tomorrow
unfolds.
