Well, now we're finally on our way again. Even though a ship is safest in a harbor, that's not what it's made for. Our destination lies 500 miles to the west - Vanatu, formerly know as the Hebrides. As you can see our new sailor has grown quite a bit and now fits into the life jacket hi always wears aboard, nicely.           And we get lucky - once again we catch a nice fish, a dorade. We arrive at Port Vila on the island Efate on friday morning. After taking care of the paper work we find us a nice space on one of the countless mooring buoys available here.           Vanuatu is multilingual. It used to be under a joint French-English administration, so today, being independent, people speak English, French and Bislami (Pidgin-English). The natives are friendly and happy - which even reflects onto their public lives. More news from Vanuatu, soon, right here! Until then ... take care! Tom, Nela & Antoine
