Vanuatu (Aug/Sep 2012)

Last stop – Port Vila

After resting up, we headed back to Port Vila to await a weather window to sail to New Caledonia.  Good thing that we were well rested as we had those boisterous trades right on our nose on our sail back to Vila.  We made brief stops at Revolieu Bay (or should I say “Roily” Bay), Epi Island and Havannah Harbor, Efate Island as we had seen these anchorages on our way up north.  Once back at Vila, we provisioned up.  While waiting for the weather window, we got to catch up with some of our cruising friends, talked lots of sailing strategy for getting to New Caledonia, and even played a little tennis with the locals.
