THE FINAL Passage! | Sailing New Caledonia to New Zealand

We Made It to New Zealand!⛵ Our FINAL Passage is complete After years of ocean crossings, island hopping, and unforgettable adventures, this is it — our very last passage on the sailboat. In this episode, we sail from New Caledonia to New Zealand, crossing one of the most challenging stretches of open ocean in the South Pacific. This leg is known for unpredictable weather, strong winds, no wind and serious seas — and we got a taste of it all. Join us as we reflect on what it means to reach the final destination after years at sea, and share a raw, real look at life during passage. 🔹 Route: Nouméa, New Caledonia ➡️ Opua, New Zealand 🔹 Distance: Over 900 nautical miles 🔹 Duration: 7 days at sea 🔹 Conditions: Squalls, swell, and emotional goodbyes Kiana is for sale: https://viningmarine.co.nz/yachts/sceptre-41-capable-bluewater-cruiser/ This isn’t just another sailing vlog — it’s the end of an era.
