Saturday 11th July Ambrym Island
A full days run to Ambrym Island Is with a good trade wind breeze and sheltered run along the North coast of Ambrym. We looked in at the anchorage at Craig Cove on the North West corner but decided there was too much swell for comfort so continued on to the villages of Ranon and Ranvetlam. This was a good decision as the villagers were very friendly and welcoming.
They stocked us up with fresh fruit and veges and we were able to help a few with bits and pieces, especially rope for tethering the family cattle in the bush.

| some reading glasses and a "cow" rope for the local chief. He was delighted! |
We bought bread from a little “bakery” which one enterprising lady had set up in her hut. It was very good!
The local kids walked with us wherever we went and were keen on the hairclips and ballons Di and Aileen were handing out.
