The last 24 hours of our delivery to Vanuatu from New Zealand have been eventful. The weather has been cloudy and rainy, not the tropical paradise we were expecting. Despite the less than ideal conditions, we’ve been making good progress. There has been plenty of traffic on the AIS, and we’ve had to keep a close eye on our surroundings. At one point, we had to dodge a LPG carrier and its tugs in the channel as they appeared out of the gloom. Overall, it’s been a challenging but rewarding journey. We’re happy to have arrived in Vanuatu and enjoyed a night's sleep. Clearance into Vanuatu was an absolute pleasure, the officials were diligent and courteous and can all be found centrally located in the port . Today we start a couple of projects in preparation for departure. I probably won't be updating the blog until we leave on the next leg of the delivery .
