It was a rough, six and a half day passage, but we made it from Noumea, New Caledonia to Gladstone, Australia mostly intact. We’ll post Episode 10 of our weather planning video series in a few days and that’ll show the details of this voyage. In the mean time, here are a few photos from the trip.
I think we’ll start with the best – Cyndi’s should-be-award-winning photo of bioluminescence as we sailed along on one of the few calm nights.
The Night Sky mode doesn’t always work out, but sometimes it’s great, even in it’s failures, as can be seen below.
Here’s what Cyndi was going for with this sunset. (Though, I really have no idea what was going on in the head of this great artist. Maybe the top pic was the objective?!)…
And lastly, here’s my contribution to this somewhat abstract sunset-at-sea gallery…
There weren’t many times that were this calm during our passage but I’ll give you more details in the upcoming video.
Just a quick word about Gladstone and the marina we’re in here – “fabulous!” It’s a great facility in a beautiful little harbor, near a really nice little city. We’re very glad we chose this as our port of entry.
