Another morning in paradise! Woke on Ambrym Island & we all took a quick dip in the beautiful azure waters.

After breakfast we sailed toward Pentecost island with great winds going 7+knots & Cindy at the helm. In less than 3hrs we arrived, took a refreshing swim & ate an early lunch. Andrew tried to nap, but the girls kept asking “are you awake dear?”, so we put the motor on dinghy & headed to shore!

We were immediately met by an older gentleman who offered to guide us to hot springs or entertain us in the evening with a dinner & native dancing for an exorbitantly ridiculous price!! Instead we just took a leisurely walk along the main road & we were all shocked at how unfriendly the locals were! Young kids even threw apples at us while cackling like witches! So we kept our gifts & headed back to the boat, took a swim, ate snacks & had naps. BBQ dinner on aft deck & enjoyed our own company & a beautiful sunset!
