Had a very comfortable night on board.  Motor went on at noon yesterday and the wind has now dropped to almost nothing and is forecast to stay that way until we arrive at New Caledonia.  Progress has been good and we are expected to be at the Port Moselle marina before lunch tomorrow,

 

We enjoyed a very yummy Mahi Mahi fish curry for dinner last night and with the weather so calm planning to enjoy a sunset beer on board tonight – a very special treat.  It is also shower day aboard so we are both looking forward to that!!!!

 

We will be crossing the Tropic of Capricorn later this afternoon so will officially be in the TROPICS although with the water temp at 26.7C feels like we are already there.  Can’t wait to go for a swim and a snorkel with water temps like that
