08/30/2008: "Waterfront Port Vila, Vanuatu"

Chaotic Harmony is tied alongside the waterfront in central Port Vila, the kids can get ashore and play easily, we have unlimited water and power (lots of washing being done) and the dirt from the shore gets carted straight down the gangplank... Ahh, life in paradise. We are in Port Vila awaiting new watermaker membranes as our current ones have reached the end of their useful life and we hope to spend some time in the Coral Sea Islands when we leave New Caledonia later in the year and water would only be our limiting factor. There is a great crowd of cruisers in port and no shortage of social activities. Port Vila is a bustling busy town. It is election time and the evening air is filled with loudhailers extolling the virtues of the various candidates. Lots of enthusiasm. Fortunately they go to bed early.
