After 3 days and 8 hours at sea, we passed the south tip of New Caledonia, Isle Des Pine, almost half way to Brisbane.  Except for the first 24 hours, the sea condition has been excellent, just a bit breeze with gentle swells. Last night, we had to run though several layers of squalls, with lightening all over the place – a hair raising experience.  Luckily, we went through without drama. 

We could spend a night here at Isle Des Pine. But with such good condition, we decided to push on.  ETA @noon on Sept 18.
