Liapari
Liapari Island, twelve miles from Ghizo, is certainly worth a visit. There are dozens of sandy and coral island anchorages and diving spots within 2/6 hours sailing of this anchorage including Kennedy Island where the President swam to after being shipwrecked. One could do worse than to base him/herself here in the cyclone season.

Cruiser's Friends
Noel Hudson & his wife Rose run a ship building and repair business called Liapari Ltd. (Tel: 677-30441; Fax 677-30297; Email. For years they’ve welcomed yachties and provided secure storage for yachts over the cyclone/typhoon season in their totally enclosed lagoon. This facility is an absolute find in a country that has practically nothing for repairing yachts and no marinas. They have 2 sets of haulout tracks that take up to 150 tons; a tractor crane for mast removal; 24/7 security; laundry; showers; water; an extensive engineering workshop; diesel engine repairs; welding and 240V power supply both at the slips and for secured vessels. They also provide fast powerboat access to Ghizo once a week.
