It’s seldom that I feel compelled to comment on articles, but you’re material is content-worthy. Thank you for being so conscientious about what you write.

Hi Jason and Piers Wave Riders
Fantastic to get your up date and to know you are in Tanna. Friends there are Werry Narua, who is in charge of the yacht club, Nelson and Lillian Nabua and Leha. Leha has a restaurant that does lunch down on the white sand beach – give them all my very very best wishes also to Johnson Ronnie and his wife and family. I think you will find there are several other people who I know so please give them all all my best wishes. Werry will help arrange transport as you will have to go to Lenakel to buy local currency, the Vatu. Vanuatu is expensive but I am sure you will find it very worthwhile. You must go up to see Mount Yasur – very satisfyingly terrifying!!!
Not sure where you will contact me from but my number is 0064-7-826-4646.Have a great time and enjoy Port Vila if you go for a visit to the capital.
Hope your voyage over to Aus will go well. OK guys great to catch up with you and hope you have enjoyed the pacific. Love to your parents and fare winds
Cheers Big Wave

Actually, it’s an old Devonshire saying “where ‘er you be, let your wind blow free” (said in a broad Devonshire accent usually causes hysterical laughter from others 🙂 The words are written on the plinth of Sir Francis Drake’s Statue on Plymouth Hoe.
So relieved you managed to duck the worst of the storm.
Safe sailing.
