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.
