After an early night and a long sleep we awoke early and started doing the final jobs (washing up etc!). We pulled the anchor up at 8am and left Noumea bay. There is a large reef around the bottom of New Caledonia and it took us until 11am to clear the reef and start the deep water sailing. Unfortunately the wind was quite tight (SSW) and a little too tight for Newtsville's downwind genoa, so we motor sailed for the first 24 hours. It was a cold night and the seas were a little lumpy at first but seemed to calm down as dawn broke.
24 Hour Run: 143 n/m
Distance to Run: 715 n/m
