This is the river entry to the new yacht club

A string band welcomed us to the shore.

Too much excitement. Time to recuperate

Custom dance at the second village.

Amongst the onlookers are Luc and Jacky from the trimaran Sloepmouche. They were central to making these festivities a great event. Luc records the dancing.

Some of the lovely dresses traditional in Vanuatu.
