We met up with an old boat builder friend now working at a remote technical college in Lolowai on the NE tip of Ambae, a very interesting place. He is working with VSA NZ and is on a 2 year contract there, quite interesting. We came across to Asanvari Bay on the South tip of Maewo yesterday and we are parked right outside a large waterfall as it drops into the bay, lovely. We had Sundowners with 5 of the other boats last night which was great fun, lively with the kids running around & us diving under the falls, a very special place here. They still use outrigger canoes like Kioa and most walk to the local school. We are heading ashore soon to get water, do some washing and I've been asked to look at their hydrogenerator which has stopped working. I have seen many well intended aid projects installing hi tech gear like this with no training or follow up, I'll see soon.

I'm working with half a screen on the Toshiba so apologies for the delay. I think the video card is also a bit dozy so it doesnt always give me even half a screen, but I will persist.

Ian & Gail doing great , fitting right in.

Go team ETNZ.
