Yesterday, sadly, we forgot to write the blog. So sorry for all the loyal followers at home. Thank you for bearing with us in our delay. We will recap now. Our day began waiting for a delivery of bananas that did not materialise. After waiting patiently for one hour we hauled anchor and moved away from our position next to Awei. We sailed for around an hour to get to our next spot and thread Imagine through a tight gap into a bay bordered by a larger village. As soon as we made landfall we felt welcomed and were invited to see what life is like here. A local man, Josef, took us around to show us local crafts and secret beaches. We made another detour to see the school, exciting the school children that foreigners were there to distract them from school work. We also made plans that would set up our itineraries for the following day.
Today the morning began with Wilson and Danielle heading out to try and swim with some dugongs. The swell into the dugong area was quite strong, meaning the animals had to go elsewhere for food and only one was spotted. Since the dugongs weren’t showing up the tour detoured elsewhere to see giant clams and into another village to see customary sand drawings. B and Andrew found villagers in need of supplies and made personal deliveries to those who made requests. Items like plates, school books, and reusable jars were all in demand. The afternoon was spent with quiet time before going back ashore for a traditional dinner of fish, rice and taro. We all had our fill and enjoyed seeing what traditional food of Vanuatu looks like. Tomorrow will be an early rise to return to the big city of Port Vila. Wilson
