The Vanuatu archipelago has been Rivendel II's cruising grounds in the South Pacific since July 2000.
During the "dry season" (May thru Ocotober), when we run
Project MARC (Medical Assistance to Remote Communities) , the central base of operations for
participating cruising vessels is in the Sakao island anchorage (Maskelyne group, SE Malakula). This year, the 3-masted schooner bark "S/V Alvei"
"S/V Alvei"
" will enable larger volunteer teams to participate than during the previous 5 years. The
August and September expeditions still have openings for a few volunteers with technical and/or educational skills. Volunteer
application forms can be found on the
Project MARC website.
When we return to our home in the Rocky Mountains (Summit Park, Utah) during the cyclone season, Rivendel II remains dry-berthed in the Port Vila boatyard.
