One of the cool things about cruising is the kids club. Lilly loves kids club and so do we. She has
fun there during the day while we can go off and have fun ourselves 🙂
Isn't the face paint cute!

Do I look bald in this?
That wind would almost blow your hair off!
“Blow cruel winds”
It's howling a gale up on the top deck.
Harrison and Lilly woke up really early, so Dad took them up on deck while Liz and I slept in.
They thought it was great that the wind was almost blowing them over.
Both Liz and Emma are still feeling seasick. Emma's going to get a seasickness injection this
morning, which is supposed to work wonders.
Liz is comparing it to pregnancy: "You only remember the good bits". I think I might try and
convince her to get the injection too.
We get inside the New Caledonia reef in about 5 hours time – so the big waves should abate
then.
Dad and I almost won a "name that tune" competition in the Piano Bar last night.
And I almost sang at the Karaoke bar. Maybe next time 🙂
More photos and news soon!

Looking back
Here's the view over the stern looking back west towards Australia.
We're midway between Brisbane and Noumea – about 400 nautical miles from either city. We arrive
tomorrow afternoon.
I love watching the wash behind us!
Any port in a storm
The library is a great place to sit and watch the world go by as the winds rage outside.
Half way to Noumea
A few of our group are feeling a bit seasick. Emma and Mark were a feeling green this morning,
and Lilly had to come out of Kids Club early because she was crook.
Liz has been in bed most of the afternoon.
Dad and I spent the afternoon at the winetasting.
Here's a shot of the waves breaking over the bow as we head into 30 to 40 knot winds!
The joy of cruising with grandparents
We are so glad that my Dad, Bruce, is travelling with us.
The kids love him, and he really enjoys them too.
Plus, with an extra adult, it's a bit less intense for us as parents.
Lilly's having fun here with Bruce at dinner 🙂
