We are now anchored up in Analgewat bay on the tiny
island of Aneityum, the southernmost island in the
Vanuatu chain. We are awaiting customs clearance by
a chap who is supposed to show up in a dugout canoe.
It's Saturday here so I don't expect to see anyone
until Monday and even then it may not happen. We got
in this morning at about 0900H it was pouring with rain
and it blew a full gale from the south all night.
The anchorage is very settled, with no swell and it's 
only blowing 20 kts in here. Last night was not too
much fun to say the least and I'm going to need at
least 24 hrs to recuperate before fixing all the things 
that broke on the ride here. I'm quite tired. Hot shower,
a cup of tea and a nap is in order. Admiral is doing well,
she is a real trouper. Further installment tomorrow if I
can find some internet
