Steve & Dorothy Darden  > Year 2000 > Baie Saint-Maurice, Isle of Pines, New Caledonia
Oct-Nov, 2001... This lovely bay is east of Kuto - sadly too shallow for 99% of blue water yachts. Baie Saint-Maurice is home to the largest fleet of Kuny proa working sail craft. Pictured in this collection is the remarkable shrine, comprised of carvings contributed by all of the tribes of Ile des Pins.
