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.

About 60nm south of Noumea lies the Isle des Pins. It's outside the South Lagoon so you have to cross a bit of ocean to get here but we picked a very nice day to cruise across without any wind and no swell to speak of.

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.
