Change of Plan

[savoir]

I can recommend Vila for a stopover. It has a fuel dock which Luganville doesn't, the water is good, the grocery shopping is good and the produce at the town market is just the best. Noumea is more expensive.

You can also get duty free on diesel and liquor.

The vegies I bought at the Vila Market were incredible, super fresh and top quality, Very cheap also,

I was anchored in Leui, Just north of Port Havanna, 10 feet of water, Fully protected on all sides, and caught a bus truck into port Vila, That road trip was grouse, over the hills and the scenery was some thing else,

I hope they told you that foreigners on those trucks have to give up their seats for pigs. Chickens not so much.

They are always fun on rainy days.

I caught up briefly with Phil over a couple of beers in Vila. He & his mate were waiting to meet the new crew flying in from Oz. Much anticipation as she was a youngish female. Never got to see her unfortunately.

There was a reason why women on board were considered unlucky.
Skipper, mate and a blessing. Odd mix! Phil, I know, is a gentleman.

[NoTies]

Even a gentleman can appreciate a pretty lady

[Eleven]

He certainly does that!

[savoir]

Maybe he'll stop at Thursday Island when all will be revealed.

Reading this tread has made me sick that I’m still land locked. I’m glad to know CF is available to us.
Good Sailing on your next leg boatman61. I hope the owner wasn’t a pain in you’re a$$.

It's been five days, hope all is well and look forward to hearing how the leg turned out.
