At play in Vanuatu



Since arriving we have been busy playing. During the passage they annouced a fishing tournament which we were happy to participate in. We ended up catching 16 fish (Tuna, wahoo, mahi mahi, a spear fish and a barracuda). We won the first price with the biggest fish which was a night at the resort burre on the water. Our friends on a beautiful trawler named 'Lizzie' offered to have the kids sleep over so we could have the night to our selves. What a treat!!!! We all had a blast in the open air shower with continuous running water. A luxury we don't have on the boat. The next day, Red Thread pulled up. It was raining pretty heavy so we decided to bumper up so the kids could go back and forth without us having to jump in the wet dingy. We stay that way for four nights. We are now anchored in a beautiful bay off the island of Espirto Santo. As we pulled up a Dugong (manatee/sea cow) popped up beside the boat, Paul went for a snorkel and saw a 10 foot sea snake and we are flying on the internet from the incredible house we are anchored near. Like couldn't be better!
