[status]Snugly anchored in Port Resolution Bay, Tanna Island for the last few days with our friends on Tranquilo, Speakeasy and Marilyn. We have been made to feel very welcome by the people in the nearby village, having already experienced a little 3 year old boy's special ceremonial birthday party amongst other things. Yesterday some of us took a truck ride to the bigger town of Lenekal on the western side - quite an experience, while Lionel and Bart helped a local fellow install/connect his solar panels to his batteries and inverter. He was SO chuffed because they don't have power here, but now he will have lights at night. I am sure he is going to be the envy of his mates! Today one of the ladies is going to teach me how to hand wash some laundry "the local way". Hopefully the weather will clear a bit so that we can make our way up the volcano.
