Brisbane to Noumea - Day 2 (Friday, 19 June)

After an uneventful night at the helm for all of the shifts the happy crew gathered in the cockpit to watch the glorious sunrise of a new day over a hot, fresh coffee and a quick debrief before some headed to bed, some to shower and others on watch again.  Salacia’s routine for the crew for the duration of the crossing had begun and all aboard had settled into the first 24 hours very well.

A magnificent, sparkly day in front of us with pods of dolphins welcoming us into this new day and their Pacific home. 

We continued the sail rig with gusts up to 23 knots and good boat speed between 9-12 knots and variable currents after strong southerly current off the east coast.

Salacia performing beautifully  - we are sailing the blue waters and no land to see!  Yah!!
