Closing in on Luganville !!!!!!!!!!

Well it has been an intersting, testing trying adventure for our very Salty Sailors to say the least.  The weather has not been kind to them at times. A rest for some in Chesterfield and others in Huon Reef has now got them en route again to Vanuatu. We have one Yacht All Seas at 0715 hrs today 25th Maly only 45 nm from Luganville.  John and crew have sailed non stop from Raby Bay albeit with rough conditions and a rope around the prop for a few days !!!  We will be awaiting there arrival with cheers  this afternoon about 4 pm Vanuatu time.

We should have 6 others - Citrus Tart, Tradewinds III,  Simply Sensational, Special Effects, Utopia II and Miles Ahead arriving Vanuatu from thursday onwards.  Apre Vous, Gypsy Lee and Stars End 2 having left Chesterfield on Monday may be in later.  Two others will be on route later in the month for Vanuatu after returning to Australia to repair various things.  The weather in Northern Vanuatu is magnificent to welcome them in the next few days.

It will be a very welcome arrival of all and a very very exciting Celebration day on Saturday 28th .
Once all is refreshed and repaired we will then head to Rah Island for another welcome with Father Luke Dini and his community

More to come ...............................
