We were up at 6.30 had breakfast on the foredeck, then we were off. I released the mooring and Emma guided Imagine out of Port Vila, gliding through the still water. When we got out into the Bay the easterly wind we had been waiting for for two weeks, had kicked in. This gave us a nice sail. There was 30 minutes of 1m swell then it dropped back to less than half a metre.
\nPort Havana is quite deep right up to the shore. We found ourselves a section of shore that has a shelf to anchor on. Once anchored, the motor off, sailcovers on, there was only one thing we could do. Jump in the water to cool off, from this 35c air. Well we got wet. The water temperature is 30c, so we got worn out trying to swim.
\nThat left us the busiest time after lunch. It was so hectic. Lying in the sun, jumping in the water, lying in the shade, jumping in the water. We are just worn out.<\/div>\n\n\n
