We left the beautiful Ouvéa and sailed up to Beautemps Beaupre Island. It was described as 'national geographic on steroids' and that description wasn't wrong. There were birds nesting on the island

After a bit of a rolly night we moved back to Port Havannah. We spotted another walker bay dingy on another boat and found it was their sailing dingy. We then spent three days having an americas cup

Moved around to another anchorage just down from the infamous Wahoo Bar. We had stopped here for lunch on our round the island drive and it was a great location and nice food.

Port Havannah. Went ashore early this morning for a look around. Saw a 40ft steel yacht that got blown aground a few years ago - kinda sad to see. Went tothe local village and were met by friendly

Anchored up in Port Havannah after an easy trip around Devil's Point. Nice to be back at anchor again after almost a week on a mooring. Looking forward to sundowners on Panthera in an hour or so -

Had a whale circle the boat in the anchorage last night before dark, then a mother and calf hanging around near the boats for about an hour this morning. Up anchored and moved north to this position

The first half of our passage to Erromango was uneventful, but the second half made up for it in spades! First was the barrel shaped skip jack tuna - nice! Then we noticed Panthera had changed course

OH MY GOD. That was the scariest thing I've ever done! Steve was OK with it, and maybe it was that I am not good with heights, but standing on the side of an active volcano while it explodes hot lava
