Freedom and Adventure: Goodbye to Port Vila Vanuatu

Since our last newsletter, we have been in and around Port Vila Harbour waiting for the right wind direction to sail to New Caledonia.

We have been busy getting ready but we managed to spend three lovely quiet days nearby Mele Island which is three and a half miles from Port Vila. It has a private resort, plus a few very nice holiday apartments. We walked the beach each day and celebrated Andrew's birthday at the Beach Bar. It was very calm at Mele we enjoyed the break.

So What's Next

We will leave Port Vila tomorrow on the expected easterly wind and travel 180 miles to Aneityum, the southern most island in the Vanauatu chain. We will spend a day or two there and then sail to Noumea on a south east wind.

I will write again when in Noumea. Until then stay safe and our love to all.
