Snake wrangling & heading to Lamen Bay, Epi

GPS: 17 45.160S 168 13.280E

Run: 5.9nm (10.7km)

We have just left Port Vila heading to Lamen Bay, Epi.

This morning we all went into town. Cindy and Andrew went for a massage while Wolfgang & Sue went to the market for fresh fruit. Back at the boat Cindy made a ratatouille for lunch. Then we all got some rest before setting off.

As we were raising the mainsail Andrew noticed a couple of stowaways. Black banded sea snakes. For some reason he found himself the only one left on deck. After persuading the snakes to leave, Wolfgang came back out on deck to help raise the sail. Actually Wolfgang had gone for the boat hook so Andrew could do his snake wrangling! Been overcast and raining off and on today. Forecast is for a nicer day tomorrow which will be great as Lamen Bay is famous for the large number of turtles and for some dugongs.
