Hi All,
Another quiet day on passage, a bit frustrating
with the wind fadng in and out, necessitating the use of the engine for about
60ltrs of fuel. The highlights were seeing the glow from the active volcanoes on
Ambrym Is as we passed at 0200, ad our arrival here in the still lagoon of
Oyster Island.
Unfortunately we haven't been allowed ashore yet as
we will not clear customs etc until tomorrow, so here we sit, too many beers and
glasses of wine onboard, enjoying the stillness of the anchorage. This place
already feels special, and it is the only country which Cate has been to which I
haven't. Her only recommendation is "don't eat the fruit bat..."
Until tomorrow, TTFN
