Photos from Port Orly (Espritu Santo) and the Banks

We are now in the Surunda anchorage at the southern end of Peterson Bay on Espritu Santo. We came here because it is fairly close to Luganville and we had to go to Luganville to get a visa extension and renew our “cruising permit.” That has been successfully accomplished.

We have some internet access here and so use this opportunity to post a selection of photos taken at Port Orly on Espritu Santo Island and at Gaua (Santa Maria) Island and Vanua Lava Island in the Banks group of islands.
