I spent this morning dangling up the mast successfully mousing the fixed
genoa halyard and at the same time made the alarming discovery that a shroud
wire (holds the mast up) had broken. Not so good especially as it turns out
that there is nobody in Vanuatu that has the equipment that can fix it. Some
airfreight from Australia might be needed before we can leave.
We had a celebratory WARC lunch in the Yacht Club which continued at the
Waterfront Restaurant for dinner. Had a few drinks with a fellow northerner
who grew up on Pringle Street, Blackburn. Small world!
