Just a couple of days in Noumea to say hello to family and goodbye to Alain,  we rush with Philippe to clear the boat out fromNew Caledonia as it seems to be a  good window coming; we do a short stop in Ile des Pins...this year unlike 2017, the way south was as quiet as the way north.

Seen in Noumea: The only cat brooker in the world to drive a "Logan"

quick run to Iles des Pins

Express visit as the window to sail south is tomorrow

How possible to leave New Caledonia without showing to Philippe a bit of  this famous and still attractive lle de Pins ?

Time this time to sail south...
