Medical Sailing Ministries Mission 4 Update 

26 September 2017

The Chimere is now heading back from the Banks Islands to Port Vila. Most of the medical team left the Chimere at Sola, and flew back home via Port Vila. The Chimere is now at Port Orly Santo Island.

This is off the coast at Sola.  This is where the medical team departed to return home. Somewhere in the sky the departing plane can be seen.

This is a little island off the coast near Port Olry , Santo .  Annette described it as one of the cutest islands she has seen.

Beautiful coast line Port Olry. The sands are lovely along this coastline.  There is a very popular and famous beach called Champagne Beach which is further to the South of Port Olry.

Annette and I had lunch at this restaurant when we visited Santo in 2015. Its right on the beach, and looks out into a beautiful bay with several small islands in the bay. The remaining people on the Chimere went to another similar restaurant further along the beach on Tuesday night.

The fishing canoes, are carved out of logs.  This one has been painted with various flags,  Annette and I saw this one in 2015.  So it has survived since then and is still used. It still doesn't have a NZ flag though 😞
