I've seen several videos on sailing New Caledonia, and it looks like a wonderful place to share some experiences together.
This would definitely be on the itinerary for a get-to-know-eachother passage, a stop in Tahiti for a wedding - if we decided that was the right course for us, then the sail to NewCal, perhaps a hop over to China, Philippines, etc (depending on where Your family is), then up through the Marshall's to Hawaii, and back across the Pacific to our home in California.
What do you think ?!
