Passage New Caledonia for Loyalty Islands

Impi is a catamaran sailing around the world. We share some techniques in navigation we use to sail in reef infested waters confidently - we are preparing to sail from New Caledonia for The Loyalty Islands and will anchor off the SE side of New Caledonia in a reef fringed bay called Port de Goro. Navigational aids include SAS PLANET, Open Cpn and the chart plotter. Port de Goro has some interesting sights including the remnants of a Japanese iron ore loading Wharf which stopped when France joined America ad England in an embargo to halt the flow of natural raw materials to Japan just before the bombing of Pearl Harbour.
