[status] Now in Port Sandwich (obviously a mate of Captain Cook), tucked right up the end of the natural harbour. Nice sail across from Ambrym back to Malakula. We are probably starting to take 8 knots of boat speed for granted without the big ocean to slow us down. We plan on being here for a day or two (until we get bored) before finally getting to the Maskelyne Islands at the bottom of Malakula. We crossed our previous track in Vanuatu yesterday. After the Maskelynes we will head north along Malakula back to Luganville to resupply before moving onto the northern islands. Then back to Australia (probably in October). Is it really September already? With everything else here on 'island time' it would be nice if the calendar would move at the same pace....

Tip of the day: After being away from a shop for some time, the Aeroplane brand Sweet Treat Icecream is a big hit with the crew. It comes as a powder and makes some of the best icecream we have ever had!
