2017 Ambae evacuation

Nz support is great to see, or is that sea

Cathy aka Miss Capability takes time to relax

Leaving Luganville - take 2

Tenacious at the wharf and the blue coloured marquee onshore to receive evacuees from Ambae

And a canoe with a sail

Getting extra diesel plus some extras

The extra crew member - Mr Jabsco

The butt of everyones jokes yet still the friend of all after nearly 6 months

His motto is care for me and I will care for you

Tenacious by night after dropping off our 29 passengers

Official reception and registration of evacuated passengers at Luganville tonight

Big crowd for a Saturday

just 29 people out of the expected 11,000 to be relocated

but every little bit counts

Msm assists evacuation of Ambae

few anchorages better than Asanvari

Haze of erupting Ambae
