We got back into Port Vila last night and this morning moved into the marina. This was so we could pick up the parcels easier (outboard and inverter). Emma took Imagine across the harbour and through the narrow gap at the western end of the harbour leading to the marina. Then she did her first mooring ball. I was on the bow guiding her she glided up to the mooring and stopped perfectly in place. The only problem was that mooring rope was so short I couldnt reach it. So we found another one with a longer rope attached. I also called up Yachting World Marina who sent Willy out to help us. Again Emma stopped right on the mooring, while Willy passed the mooring rope to me and we tied off.
After that it was a trip into town. Emma organised a tour for tomorrow, then we got some fruit from the market. The markets are quite bare as there aren’t a lot that have gardens not effected by the cyclones. Back on Imagine we had a lazy afternoon. The parcels still haven’t arrived. I will have to try and chase them up tomorrow.
