Mustang Sally is currently in Noumea position as of the 16/06/2013 is "22:16S 166:26E".

We have been in New Caledonia now for around 6 weeks and it is now time to get a move on again.  It looks like the weather will be good for us to clear out of Noumea on Wednesday with our first stop at Mare in the Loyalty Islands Group (~120NM) where we will probably spend a night or two there before doing another overnighter to Anatom, which is the most southern island in Vanuatu.  We have been told that the customs officials come out in a dug-out canoe to clear us into Vanuatu – will have to get a photo of that.

 

From Anatom we head north to Tanna to do the very exciting and slightly dangerous trip up Mt Yasur – the active volcano!!  We then keep heading north to Erramongo and then up to Port Vila on Efate where we will be meeting up with Peter (from Walo) and then Miss Amanda who will be with us around Efate for a couple of weeks.
