Hi All,
We are in Havannah Harbour still, but have been
joined by increasing numbers of other yachts, both rally and non-rally. This
morning we motored across to Lelepa Island wich forms the western barrier of the
huge natural harbour we are in. Not long after we arrived we were waved off by a
local man on the beach. When I went ashore to wuestion him he said it would be
2,000 vatu (about $20.00) to anchor off "his" beach. Nce as it was, we returned
to the Ai Creek anchorage from which we came.
In other news there has been a regular review of
our Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for continuing cruising. The results
were:
1. Remain financial: we are,
just.
2. Remain married: we are,
just
3. Farts must still be funny: The girls
think they are still funny, I think they are hilarious (especially if I did it)
and Cate thinks they are marginal at best. Reckon we are over the line on that
one, too.
Late this afternon we were joined in the anchorage
by the good ship "Silver Fox", with whom we have just shared an enjoyale session
of sundowners catching up on their news. It seems liklely they will join us for
our overnight tour to Tanna Is sometime next week, so we are all looking forward
to it.
Tomorrow we will depart the anchrage earlyish and
motor the 18nm around to Hideaway Island resort, which is just a short hop from
Vila. Here we will be able to finish up the school term, do some shopping, and
catch some Rugby World Cup action.
Until tomorrow,
TTFN
