We’re still on our way to New Caledonia. Today the winds have shifted again and we’re beating our way along. It’s not too bad, but the occasional brick wall sound, as waves hit the boat, are quite loud. We’ve spent the day listening and reading. Steve is the reader. Susan and I spent time with our iPods. I finished up “Brave New World.” It’s quite good and read by Michael York. He did a fine job. It’s a disturbing book and I’ve read it before.

Not much to tell. We’ll most likely be pulling into Noumea on Sunday.
