Vanua Levu

The cruising down from Savusavu between the reefs included some hazardus passages, especially considering we weren't sure we could trust the charts. After a really nice sail we anchored of a small island. Andreas went ashore to present a gift to the chief, some rum and we could stay. Snorkeling in this bay was fantastic, big mussels and a lot of fish. Next morning we left early with Talulah Ruby to make the next anchorage before dawn. Talulah hit the reef so we ended up as their guide through the reefs the following days.

Viti Levu

Lautoka, the next big town turned out to be a big disapointment. The sugar factory spat out smutty, small pieces of ash and it was dead and ugly. Finaly we left the place and arrived in Denerau marina. Found our new crew member, Fredrik a friend of Jens from home. The sail to Muscet Cove was slow and Windflower passed us.. Not good! Had a nice swim in the ocean before we motored to the sheltered bay of Muscet Cove.

Musket Cove

Sailing from Fiji to Vanuatu was going to be fast around 30 knots of wind steady all the way. High waves made part of the crew feel a bit queesy, we didn't have any big dinners or so.. The rain was pouring down from time to time and when it didn't the waves came crashing over the side. A wet trip to say the least!

10.07.08
Tanna

Tanna turned out to be a very volcanic island with only a small village. A tour to the volcano arranged by the arc was one of the highlights of Tanna, bangs and then ash and lava spiting out of the crater! Cool. Village party the next night, bad food but good kava!

11.07.08
Port Vila

Fredrik left from Port Vila, a nice town with a lot of restaurants and bars. Andreas went on a tour around the island wich was nice. We are now on our way to the final destination in Vanuatu, Espiritu Santo.
