We have left New Caledonia and are currently on our way back to Aus. We have been sailing upwind now for the last day and a bit and it is not the most comfortable with a big sea running from the south west and 25 knots over the deck. Not quite what we had planned for. It is suppose to lighten and rotate towards the south east but we will wait and see.

Our last few days in New Cal saw a change in weather with a few showers. This put pay to our plan of scuba diving but we still had a great time enjoy a few walks and a bath in a hot spring. We can't wait to return as there is just so much to see and do. We only just scratched the surface but we loved what we saw.

On a side note we were on the move towards Noumea when we got another tsunami warning. They evacuated the east coats of New Cal up onto higher ground. Where we were there was little we could do so we were greatful when an hour and a half later the warning was cancelled.
