From Ambrym Island it is a three hour hop over to the Maskelyne Islands. This is a group of small islands off of the south tip of the very large island of Malekula. We choose to anchor in a calm bay beside the island of Awai. It is picture perfect calm…
Fuel, fuel, or fuel
Pam and I rented a car and drove from the Atlantic Highlands in New Jersey to Annapolis Maryland. We arrived at 3:45 at the doggie hotel, which closed at 4 PM seems that we are always cutting things close nowadays. We enjoyed a fantas…
Ambrym Island

Messing with diesel oil
I am not doing coffee here to support the troops. Benno drained more than 2 gallons of diesel fuel out of the huge double barrel Racors. Black, yucky stuff! In the picture you see me filtering the diesel through a Melitta #4 filter. What filtered o…
