Village trip to N. Ambrym #1

 
Corney at domestic terminal, waiting to leave
 
 
 
Airstrip at Craig Cove on Ambrym Island
 
 
Small terminal at Craig Cove where we spent all day, March 11th, waiting for 3 more gentlemen from Santo Island to come and join us for work on the buiding project.  Thankfully, there was an outhouse on site.
 
Since the plane with the other 3 gentlemen arrived too late in the day for us to go in the boat to get the village, we had to walk through the jungle for a short distance to Sam's Bungalows where we would spend the night.
 
 
Our accomodation for the night.  We were well taken care of with a bed with a mosquito net and food was also provided for the evening meal and breakfast the following morning.
 
 
Getting the boat ready to put in the water and leave for the village, Tuesday, March 12th.
 
 
Out on the water for 2.5 hours, it was not particularly calm that morning
 
 
We arrived safely on the black, sandy shore
 
 
Working hard to pull the boat right up onto shore, away from the crashing waves
 
 
Beautiful Pacific Ocean, thankful to be on solid ground again!
