[status] Just arrived at Banam Bay, Malekula Island after a 25nm sail from a VERY rolly Lamen Bay. Awesome sail, beam to broad reaching the whole way at an average of 8 knots. Best sail of the trip so far!! Got here in time for lunch and very happy to not be rolling at anchor. Kris and Jay are sorting out supplies for us to gift (trade to their advantage, to be precise) to the local (and apparently very traditional) village here.

Great view of the two steaming volcanoes from this anchorage as well as during the sail today. They will dominate the skyline with two red glows again tonight.

[weather) 20knts SSE, 1-2m seas with SSW swell, 10% cloud, 1012 baro
