In the summer of 2007, brothers Ryan and Bryson Robertson and good friend Hugh Patterson began their dream to sail the world and bring awareness to plastic pollution in our Oceans. They departed La Paz, Mexico, embarking on the three-year circumnavigation in July 2007. The trio have just left New Zealand, where they were waiting out the South Pacific Cyclone season and preparing for the next leg of their journey - New Zealand to South Africa. A trip of some 12 000 km, which will take them approximately 10 months. (Version en Francais) “ We are surfers, sailors, and explorers and this is our adventure of research, education and exploration. Our dream is to circumnavigate the globe to document the polluted state of the oceans and beaches we visit, search out the best waves and meet new people. We want to inspire everyone we connect with to consider their personal impact on the oceans by taking more care in how they live on a day-to-day basis.”

So after 5 fantastic days exploring the beaches, reefs, and lagoon's of Aneitym as well as being welcomed into the village of Anagawat, we reluctantly weighed anchor late last night for an overnight sail to the island of Tanna. I'll leave the full description of the past few days to another member of the crew, as I'm sure my prose won't do the experience justice. But to give you an idea of the impression that was left on us, as we ate dinner last night and reflected on our first taste of Vanuatu and its people I did hear the words "best place yet" from more than one person. |
