Anchored at Asanvari. Wow! Another beautiful place. We spent the evening at
the bar right next to a wondrous waterfall. They were out of beer but
offered us a place to sit if we wanted to bring our own. Two other yacht
crews were in our company - a French couple and another yank couple, and of
course, Alex who built this amazing bar.

We'll head south to Pentecost tomorrow while the wind's still light. Today:
Snorkeling.

[status] Pleasant sailing broad reaching and running in 15 knot ESE breeze. Sea conditions pretty good.
Took the scenic route through Benga lagoon. Full sails until late yesterday when put 1 reef in the main. This morning it's a bit lighter down to 10 knots and behind us so have just turned the motor on. Hopefully wind will increase a bit later.
