Just happened to be in Noumea on the weekend of slalom racing.
Only 12-15 knts on Saturday & Sunday not enough wind.
That's pretty light conditions for New Caledonia.

Video shot from our balcony at La Promenade Hotel with a little Canon Legria on tripod. It's about 1.5km from there to that first island, Ile aux Canard (Duck Is).

At 2.34 note all the kites at Ilot Maitre (second island in background). They're like a cloud over the island!

more later on sailing & holidaying there...
cheers
