| At anchor in Hideaway Bay, a day sail away from Port Vila, Vanuatu's capitol city, and much more tranquil. |
| But it's that time once again to be hauled out to paint the bottom |
| The haul out operation was particularly scary when the framework underneath broke and we had to wait for it to be repaired! |
| Eventually they rolled us through the gates to the boatyard |
| A week later we were out and our friends on Cabaret, a 55 ft home-built cat, were in...just barely, as the gates had to be removed entirely to squeeze them inside! |
| Cabaret also had to be repainted. Capt. Bill on deck (behind the tree branch) watches the crew below... |
| ...While Nancy stays out of the way, standing by to push with the dinghy if needed |
| Cabaret's pilot house is a great place to relax with a good book |
| Barb, Bob and Nancy outside the colorful fabric market |
| Barb and Nancy, with Cabaret in the background |
| The eroding beach at Hideaway Bay. |
| Nancy on Hideaway Bay beach |
| These tree roots were underground for over a hundred years, but with higher sea levels they are being undercut and eroded. Can you say global warming? |
| The large central public produce market in downtown Port Vila was the finest we'd seen in half the world! |
| The veggie selection was huge and the prices obscenely low |
| The produce was always fresh and the market clean |
| At anchor for a few days off Jerry's gardens in Havannah Harbor. |
| Barb, Jerry Robesen and Nancy from Cabaret at Jerry's place on Moso Id |
| Jerry's home compound was neat and orderly |
| Jerry and his wife Claudia at the door to their still-being-built new home |
| The million dollar view from Jerry's front yard |
| Jerry's village of Tasiriki was also neat and orderly |
| Barb with Jerry's daughter Penny (R) and her friend |
| The pied piper of ¡QB! |
| Jerry invited us to his home and at least Barb enjoyed the fresh coconut water refreshment ! |
