  We are in New Caledonia! 


On May 24, 2008 we departed Newcastle Australia to continue the Blind Circumnavigation for the 2008/2009 cruising season.  During our first passage we were knocked down by a wave on the Coral Sea, causing damage to Starship.  We are currently in Noumea, New Caledonia making repairs. 

Our intended route for this cruising year is New Caledonia, Vanuatu, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and eventually Thailand for the Indian Ocean Cyclone Season.
