Hard to believe we have already been away from home for 1 month.
We had a very slow trip out to LHI (Lord Howe Island) mainly due to light winds and plenty of current against but managed to arrived early last Thursday morning (26th April).
It is a pretty spectacular place to arrive at from sea. Unfortunately not able to upload photos at the moment but will try and add some later as it is awesome to see.
LHI is a really pretty place and a great place to hang out if you want to chill out for a bit.
On Saturday we decided to do an extreme rope assisted walk to the Goats House on Mt Lidgard which was fantastic and we soon found out why the ropes are there when trying to make out descent - it was really steep.
We have done plenty of snorkeling around the lagoon. The water in the lagoon is exceptionally clear and the coral and fishies here are amazing. Apparently it is the most southern coral in the world. We also walked over to Ned's beach yesterday for a swim and also to feed the fish - this whole concept seems a bit odd to Grahame (our resident fish killer). When you get near to the water there are all these fish (both big and small) waiting in the shallows for a feed and fighting over each morsel that is thrown into the water.
Been doing lots of weather checking with our fellow yachties that are parked in the lagoon with us and looks like we might be heading off on the next leg to Noumea on Thursday.
We have met a lovely couple, Oscar and Graciela from Zenitude who are pretty much doing the same trip as we are so sure we will get the chance to catch up with them at plenty of spots over the rest of the adventure.
Will write again (and hope to include some photo's) once we get to New Cal.
Did hear on the grapevine that those mighty blues had a good win over the Crows which did put a bit of a smile on the dial !!
