Vanuatu to Indonesia -- October to November 2013 (May 2014)

We bid farewell to Port Vila, Vanuatu on the evening of 13 October, but Port Vila did not want to let us go. We sailed off the anchor only to discover that the CQR was balancing a hefty chunk of rock and coral on its tip. There was no way to knock it off, so we had to tuck behind an island and climb out onto the anchor to attach a line to the anchor crown. We then dropped the anchor again so that it hung from the crown, which released the anchor from the rock. This sort of thing doesn't happen very often, so we felt the need to take a picture.
