The Helicopter that brought in supply's

Filling boxes with ash to clear the ground so tents could be erected and eventually new houses put up

Meri and Adrian doing their bit

This whole half of the island was completely wiped out

Sue taking boxes of ash and wood to dump at the waters edge

The locals taking in what has become of their homes

Dimitri and Meri hadn't inhaled enough smoke and ash already and felt it was time for a ciggy!!

Adrian and George putting their backs into it

This was the spot the tap used to be

Nearly done now Sue

I still look far to clean, I was working hard honest!

An upside down Jaki

Dimitri looking all innocent, he must have just done something naughty!

Melted cooking utensils

The tents being raised as temporary accommodation

Ken raking up the ashes, I think the woman who's house this used to be wanted to keep him for good!

One of the houses that managed to stay intact in the midst of the fire

Oh dear we don't look quite as pretty as we did at christmas

Ready to go and back to the boats and have a good old wash in the sea

Racing back to Chichime, this is Adagio. I have to say that we won!!

(We did leave first and Adagio did get their anchor stuck for quite a while so left quite a while after us, other wise they would have won, but alls fair in love and sailing!!)
