I arrive at Vanuatu, island of Anatom also called Anetyum passing Netchan Nenganneany Point then into Anelcauhat Bay also called Anelghouhat Bay. It will be a while before I speak fluent place names in this country! Scanning the chart I am relieved to find a place called Flat Rock. Now that I can pronounce.

This is not an official port of entry but if you ask nicely in advance the policeman here will check you in until you do formal clearance somewhere later. Head of immigration, Stanley, writes to everyone on first name terms. These people make it easy for you to visit.

With no electricity, no mobile 'phones and no internet this is back to basics. This afternoon I am going to explore Mystery Island. And where is that? If I told you it wouldn't be a mystery...
