Dear New Caledonia,
All our bags are packed and we’re ready to go. I’m not happy about it. I hate to leave you, but we’ll be back, next season I hope. You’ve been so kind to us – your wonderful people and your beautiful land. We haven’t even seen your islands – stunning by all accounts.
We were going to depart today at 3PM but you blew a little bit to keep us here one more night. Thank you! Now I know you’ll be kind and let us slip gently away in light wind and smooth seas tomorrow morning. That’s just how you roll, isn’t it?
We’re headed to Australia – Bundaberg we hope, but maybe Brisbane and maybe Coffs Harbor. We’ll see how the wind blows. It should take us six or seven days, putting us in on Christmas eve if we’re lucky or Christmas day if we’re not (in this case, we’re probably spending Christmas in quarantine, oh well).
In the mean time, happy holidays to everyone who treads these pages. Peace and Blessings. Rich and Cyndi
