Welcome to Zero2Sixty

When you’re popping pills to ward off protozoan parasites, that’s when you know you’re really traveling. I’m walking along a narrow path, and now the jungle has closed in around me, but the kids are still everywhere. Ciccio has one hanging off the index finger of his right hand, she looks to be perhaps three, but that tiny little hand is holding tight, and she’s keeping up with the...

Our first anchorage once we left Port Vila just had to be Lelepa Island. Last September we spent some time here and loved it. The winds this time caused us to come around to the west side of the island to remain protected from the eastern trade winds.

Yacht Feelin' Good enjoyed a wonderful sailing season in New Caledonia. Follow along as we enjoy diving, snorkeling, and BBQ time on the beach on the beautiful islands of New Caledonia.

Since we arrived in New Caledonia at the end of April, we have experienced a brush with Cyclone Donna, wonderful diving and island BBQ's, a visit from Eric and extraordinary islands, atolls and reclusive anchorages. New Caledonia has it all along with a vibrant capital city complete with any provision you'd like (as long as you are prepared to pay dearly for it!).

We are about 40nm south of Noumea in the South Lagoon of New Caledonia. Kouarea Island is a small piece of land surrounded by amazing coral reefs in all directions and we've worked our way down here this week as my son, Eric, visits us. It's a little tricky getting in here with a boat of our draft but Andrea's done a great job and we have had a nice anchorage on a sandy bottom in...

We were on the way to another anchorage when we spotted this place and decided to hang out for a few days. What a great decision! It's a lagoon surrounded by reefs with just a couple of entrances in. The snorkeling was superb, especially out by the pass. Under the surface we saw lots of pristine hard coral, tons of fish, had a few white tip sharks following us around and came pretty...

Our first normal anchorage after arriving here in New Caledonia. The past three weeks have been filled with rainy weather followed but a close brush with Cyclone Donna followed by more rain. Finally we are able to get out to the Southern Lagoon where all the best places are located.
