  • Subject/ Area: Vanuatu at the Speed We Cruise, It Will Take Us More Than
    Subject/ Area: Vanuatu At the speed we cruise, it will take us more than one season to cover Vanuatu! During this past 4 months, we explored the Southern part of Vanuatu: Tanna, Aniwa, Erromango and Efate. The ultimate cruising guide for Vanuatu is the Rocket Guide (nicknamed Tusker guide, from the first sponsor - www.cruising-vanuatu.com). With charts, aerial photos and sailing directions to most anchorages, you will have no problem making landings. We also used Bob Tiews & Thalia Hearns Vanuatu cruising guide and Miz Mae’s Vanuatu guide. Those 3 reference guides and previous letters in the SSCA bulletins will help you planning a great time in Vanuatu! CM 93 electronic charts are slightly off so do not rely blindly on them! At time of writing, 100 vatu (vt) was about $1 US. Tanna: Having an official port of entry, this island was our first landfall, as cruising NW to see the Northern islands will be easier than the other way around! Port Resolution: We arrived in Port Resolution early on Lucky Thursday…lucky because that is the day of the week that the Customs and Immigration officials come the 2 1/2 hour, 4-wheel drive across from Lenakel. We checked in at no extra cost, and avoided the expense of hiring a transport (2000 vatu RT). We met Werry, the caretaker of the Port Resolution “yacht club”, donated a weary Belgian flag for his collection, and found out about the volcano visit, tours, and activities. Stanley, the son of the Chief, is responsible for relations with the yachts, and he is the tour guide or coordinator of the tours that yachties decide to do.

  • The Better Land
    February 6, 1969 Vol. 146 No. 6 REVIEW AND HERALD • GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS The Better Land By W. H. HYDE © BY THE REVIEW AND HERALD HARRY ANDERSON, ARTIST We have heard from the bright, the holy land, We have heard of the palms, the robes, the We have heard, and our hearts are glad; crowns, For we were a lonely pilgrim band, And silvery band in white; And weary, and worn, and sad. Of the city fair, with pearly gates, They tell us the pilgrims have a dwelling All radiant with light. there— We have heard of the angels there, and saints, No longer are homeless ones; With their harps of gold, how they sing; And we know that the goodly land is fair, Of the mount, with the fruitful tree of life, Where life's pure river runs. Of the leaves that healing bring. They say green fields are waving there, The King of that country, He is fair, That never a blight shall know; He's the joy and the light of the place! And the deserts wild are blooming fair, In His beauty we shall behold Him there, And the roses of Sharon grow. And bask in His smiling face. There are lovely birds in the bowers green— We'll be there, we'll be there, in a little while, Their songs are blithe and sweet; We'll join the pure and the blest; And their warblings gushing ever new, We'll have the palm, the robe, the crown, The angels' harpings greet.
