Back in Australian waters, it's official

We left Sunday, out through Dumbea Passage at noon. We were the only vessel in sight leaving New Caledonia, a bit lonely after being part of a rally fleet of 20+ boats for the last 5 months and a very different experience to the rally boats that left mainly for NZ a week before. It was a fleet with a line of boats headed for NZ (all rally boats) and a line of boats heading for Australia(mostly independent cruisers). The photo below is of the Marine Traffic web site.

Our trip to begin with was very comfortable with mainly 10/12kts wind on the beam and flatish seas. Not breaking any speed records getting along at 6/7.5 which was very comfortable. Unfortunately, as per the forecasts, those conditions didn't last and we have been motoring or motor-sailing for 38 hrs due to lack of wind. Have just turned the motor off at 10:15 pm this evening and sailing along nice a quietly just with the head sail up.

Today we entered official Australian waters. We assumed it would be 200Nm off the coast and the same for New Caledonia with international waters in between but our electronic charts showed a boundary between the two countries which was about 300Nm from Cape Moreton. This boundary isn't shown on our paper charts, which are a lot older.
