So, we walk out of a grocery store here in Luganville, the only place you could call a town in Vanuatu besides the capital, Port Vila, and there’s this whiteskin couple chatting with a yachtie friend of ours — “Whiteskin” is the term for us here, merely descriptive, not at all pejorative. After just a few words, I sense that both her voice and her face are too familiar, someone I’ve known but in a different setting. It doesn’t take but a moment to realize she was the manager of one of the marine chandleries in Whangarei a couple of years ago, before she and her partner set off cruising. These sort of chance meetings are hardly restricted to cruising; I just find them fascinating.
