May 10

　昨日（５月９日）　昼過ぎに無事ヌメアの元のマリーナに戻りました。連絡を差し上げておいたら堀さんがご親切にバースに迎えに来てくださって、舫を取っていただく。その後久しぶりのシャワーですっきり。洗濯も。

　８日朝６時に出発後風は進路前方から（南より）１０－１５ｋｔ程度でステイスルのみでずっと機走。
　９日朝５時にリーフの東入り口ハバナパスに到着。広いのでＧＰＳ頼りに進入開始。その後西進し８時に狭いＣａｎａｌ　Ｗｏｏｄｉｎを抜けるまで、幸いにして連れ潮で７－８ｋｔ出ました。９時からはエンジンカット、フルメイン、フルジブで快調にヌメアまで帆走でき気持ちいい思いをしました。
途中鰹の味がする魚を１匹ゲット。

　

　Yesterday, around noon we came back to Port du Sud Marina of Noumea. Hori-san was kindly waiting at the berth, lead us there and took ropes. Then, bear, shower, laundry!

  After starting  the anchoring point at 6AM on May8, the wind stayed was almost from South at 10-15kt. KING BEE kept motoring with only the staysail up. At 5AM of 9th we arrived at Havana Passe entrance and went in toward west believing GPS Plotter.. While westing ,till we finish passing the narrow Canal Woodin, the tide current was following direction ,being able to run at 7-8kt. From 9 AM we coulｄ enjoy pleasant sailing with full Main and full Jib till our arrival at  Noumea. We could get a fish like bonito taste.
