E153 - Unforgettable Encounters with Waisisi Bay's Friendliest People, Covered in Volcanic Ash Twice

Waking up in Port Resolution we found No Regrets covered in volcanic ash after a wind whist during the night. After washing off as much as we could, we sailed a short distance north to Waisisi Bay. We go ashore and meet the Tom, his father the chief, and Dick before the village comes to welcome us. We provide some welcoming gifts with our football (soccer ball) getting a HUGE response. After getting a guide around the village we swim with the children on the very black sand beach. The following morning we come ashore to watch the excited children that had been up since first light playing enjoying their new football.

We’re Chris and Jo and we have been living on our Seawind 1260 since January 2019. In our first year we bring our yacht down the east coast of Australia and sail it out to New Caledonia. After cruising further north up the east coast of Australia in 2020, we decide to circumnavigate Australia during 2021 and 2022. We had previously owned fishing and water skiing boats, but after a couple years crewing in South Australia we decided to jump right in and make a sea change. We are just an ordinary Aussie couple exploring what this great world has to offer and hope that we can inspire others just as we were by watching other YouTube channels to follow our dreams. #vanuatu #tanna #seawind1260 #seawindcats #sailing #sailingboat #sailingyacht #yacht #yachting #yachtinglifestyle #cruisinglife
