Drift (6257km):
5274 days ago 2 categories   LOCATION: ANSE VATA- NEW CALEDONIA
WIND: E-NE- <12 KNOTS- cyclone had killed the trade winds
WATER TEMP: 24'
AIR TEMP: 23'
GEAR: RRD X FIRE 135, 150, LOFT BLADE 5.9
DETAILS: My only free day on our cruise, so I headed over to Anse Vata, Noumea.
Hired some gear from Laurent @ Sp@ce. Highly Recommended!.
The Bay is huge, with a reef at the south eastern end and a few islands out west. The wind was cross-offshore for the launch and was getting caught up and blocked by the mountain range in the east. Once you got out from shore it filled in a bit but it had big holes in it. Still it was great to meet some locals, share some war stories and go for a sail!
Il'll definately be going back for another look around.
