Port Resolution

The weather was going to turn wild with high winds forecast for the last two days of our journey to Port Vila so we emailed port resolution and requested permission to go there instead. It would seem they needed permission from Port Vila maybe because we had planned to go to Port Vila.
The next day was a holiday in Vanuatu so we heard nothing back. The morning we were due to arrive we received email confirmation that we could go to port resolution.
We arrived on the 30th May at 10 am. The officials were still there and a friend on another boat said if we were quick we would be able to clear in that day. But we needed to get the dinghy/outboard down so decided to wait. We received an email to tell us to wait until the officials told us to come over and they emailed our official letter giving permission to clear in at Port Resolution.
31st May . We received a call on the VHF radio at about 11:15 asking us to come over to the yacht club with all our paper work.
It was a simple process, fill in the forms for customs, immigration and health. Pay your money. 4000 VUV each. There was a petrol fee for them coming to Port Resolution (3000 VUV) split between us and another boat. We paid in NZD so we could keep our VUV.

Cute village, lovely people ,no shops but you can get a taxi ride to Lenakal but it’s about 2/3 hour ride in a truck, apparently not pleasant. You can also get a ride to the volcano from here.

This bay was the most rolly bay we have been in since we left the U.K. 7 years ago. Stern anchor required to face you into the swell. Anchored in 5 metres.
