We left the city yesterday after filling up with some duty free diesel and doing our last shopping. We sailed only 4 nm – Clea was at the helm for 2 of them.
We took a mooring buoy at Ilot Maitre. We woke up this morning to flat crystal clear blue water and went for a snorkel. Quite short as we all found the water too cold for us…even if it was 23 deg. However, we saw a crayfish, an eel, some colorful corals and lots of gelatinous zooplankton.
As the weather doesn’t seem to improve, we might check out for few more days more of New Caledonia’s anchorages.
