After a night with a bit of rolling as the swell made it over the reef, Cindy took the helm and we headed out of the reef. As the wind was not yet in the right direction we found a more sheltered bay for the day/night. This is Sanko Island, also known as the garden island as this is where villagers from the area have their gardens. They paddle over in their canoes to tend the garden and pick fruit and veggies to take back to their village. Generally this island is uninhabited except when the villagers decide to stay the night so there are some living structures dotted around. We should have easterly winds tomorrow making it easier to get back to Port Vila.
We swam off the back of Imagine before lunch. After lunch Wolfgang and Cindy went ashore to check out the island. Great steak and veggie dinner tonight cooked by Cindy, Andrew and Sue with Wolfgang doing the dishes as he lost in the Pass the Pigs game before dinner.
Message from Sue and Andrew to their nephew Lachlan – Happy birthday young man, hope you’ve had the best of days. Many hugs and much love.
To anyone else reading the blog we love hearing your feedback. And to Cindy’s fan club, where have you all been lately?? We all love getting your messages!!
