Turtle's and Dugong's

Wow, a national geographic day today, we are in a stunning anchorage called Palakula Bay on Santo Island Vanuatu with constant turtles for companions and on the dinghy trip today a Dugong mother and calf accompanied by dad, a very special moment, they are the elephants of the sea and very cool but very strange animals, they hung around the dinghy for ages much to Eva's delight.
Vanuatu is an amazing place with stunning beaches, yesterday it was Lynn's 50th birthday (a lady on another boat), we went to Champagne beach and drunk champagne then back via a blue hole which is a fresh water spring for swimming and then lastly a boutique waterfront bar.
Not sure on our plans from here but either way it is as simple as leaving the bay and going in the direction that the wind makes easiest, we have to be in Port Vila in four weeks so lots of time to explore.
I have been diving a lot and with the Coolage and Million Dollar Point the wreck diving here is like nowhere else although more than just a bit deep.
Oh and how could I forget, Eva is without a doubt potty trained, two days now with no accidents, all number 1's and 2's on the potty, dry overnight so very happy campers we are, the other boats have asked why we run around the boat clapping and cheering, all three of us that is, ah the celebratory potty dance.
Hope you are all well where ever in the world you maybe.
