Awei Island

 

Saturday 14/9

 

Our plan was to sail to Ambryn to climb the vulcano but we realised that it was not so good to arrive on a Sunday as nobody works on Sundays.

 

We changed our plan and headed for the Maskalyne Islands on the south end of Malekula.

 

We had a nice sail west from Lamen bay on Epi. we stopped for lunch and a snorkel close to the reef near Khuneveo Island.

 

 

                                   Look, no hands.

 

After lunch we decided to look for a more sheltered anchoridge for the night and ended up in a shelterd place on the west side of Awei Island.

 

There was lots of Mangroves there but also a couple of small beaches.

 

The bay was filled with dug out canoes out fishing and unusually it was women in all the canoes.

 

After a while our Australian Mark started the Saturday night entertainment with a show of Coo-eee screaming and leg wiggling.

The kids on the beach fell over laughing.

 

   

                            Mark leads the entertainment.                                                                               The kids are following.

 

 

All followed by a lovely dinner from our French chefs with Tif as head cook.

 

Lars and crew.
