Sunday 12th July Pentacost Island
After a quick run ashore to drop off a few bits we set sail
for Pentacost Island. This island is world famous for the land diving which
happens in April, May and June and is done to ensure the yam harvest is
successful. We were sorry we were too late to see this but the people and the
magnificent waterfall at Betara (waterfall Bay) were worth the stop. A local
lady (Jessie) looked after us and took us up to the waterfall and to the local
laundry pool. A very picturesque village with lots of rules for visiting whites
as the tourists fly in here to watch the land diving and the locals don’t like
you straying off the approved tracks until they work you out. By the afternoon
we must have received the tick of approval because Jessie told us we were free
to move about on our own…
