[s] Great Balls of Fire!! Had great volcano experience on Saturday! Well worth the wait. Customs came through from Lanakel to clear in 2 boats, so we completed Immigration check in, and arranged to go to Lenakel, via Ash fields, on Tuesday , to clear out, with a delayed departure option. (To leave over next week end from here.) Winds look to be easing and going more E. Enjoyed a village lunch , (for a contribution to school funds 1)and walks around PR area., which is very attractive and lush. Very interesting cultural fusion, between 1st and 3rd world lifestyles,as well as some typically badly thought out “foreign aid” programs. Will cover some specifics in blogs at later date. Anchorage is far less rolly than we were led to believe in stronger SE winds, and are quite happy to wait here for the better window, chilling out with the other 7 yachts here at present.
