Noumea pass - Hi There, I was entering this pass on a large yacht back in April 2000, myself and the engineer were surfers and we went past drooling at what we saw...perfect waves and no one out! We wanted so badly to go back out there in the tender but couldn't as the owners were waiting on the dock in Noumea. Sometimes life on super yachts can be very frustrating! Next time I go there I will not go past! It pumps!!
