We were visited again this morning by Sovren and Joslin in their canoe, on their way to the community to help rebuild a house. With the grey clouds still hanging over the bay and the wind still blowing, we decided to haul anchor and head north around the coast of Malakula. Once we had navigated our way out of the reefs we found ourselves in a strong south east wind. So instead of north we turned north east across to Ambrym. As we got closer the sun began to finally show it’s face again after a few days in hiding. The water turned from black to dark blue with aqua tipped waves. We turned Fred (autopilot) off most of the way and got a good arm workout trying to stay on course while surfing the waves. Once we anchored in at Hot Springs beach it was time to swim ashore and look around. The black volcanic sand that lined the beach made the water temperature even warmer. We walked around to the natural spring were the water temp was so high we couldn’t walk in the stream heated from the islands volancos. Back on Imagine we bought a hoard of flies from the shore. Now it’s time to relax ready for the sunset.
