Sitting in an anchorage just off Isle of Pines. Stunning white sand beaches and super clear water. We have a resident dolphin hanging around the bay. Almost got bowled over by him yesterday standing in a foot of water... He was chasing a fish and came right up to the beach! Very cool.

Meet another kiwi boat Manaroa III have had a few funny nights and lovely dinners with them.

Arrived anatom monday night 2am, (5.5 days from opua) w/o confirmation that we could clear in. Went ashore in the morning to meet super friendly officials - immigration, bio, customs, even tho no cruise ship in sight. Yesterday, attended opening & celebration of Anatom as new port of entry. Will become effective very soon. Need to recruit staff locally. Passage was uneventful and fast with a lot of motoring due to poor winds and large swell that kept taking the wind out of the sails. A big thank you to david & patricia who guided us on weather and kept us company throughout the passage. Bio in vanuatu seems limited to promise to keep fruits vegetables & meat on your boat. Enjoying a beautiful anchorage and friendly villagers. Oh, by the way, there are grapefruits here, the same as those in the Marqueses. Delishhhh.
