On N side of Eromango, ready for a (very!) early morning departure for the 80nm passage to the capital, Port Vila on Efate.

Had a great morning before sailing here, being shown around Dillon's Bay village by a local, David, who's in the (long) process of building his Yacht Club and Guesthouse. The village is home to 700 people, half of the otherwise very sparsely populated 50km x 20km Island.
