High score (8-10) · Your profile
South Maewo has one genuine point of outside contact: Asanvari Bay, a well-known anchorage on the Pacific cruising circuit where yachts traveling between Vanuatu and Fiji or the Solomons stop for a few days. Local women in Asanvari village have had more contact with foreign sailors than almost anywhere else on the island, and the community has a pragmatic attitude toward visiting yachties. That's a specific and real difference from North Maewo. But 'more contact than North Maewo' still means a very low baseline, and the community is still small and tight-knit.
Mid score (6-8)
South Maewo's Asanvari anchorage gives it a slight edge in outside exposure — the cruising yacht community stops here reliably enough that villagers know how to interact with foreigners and there's a basic informal economy around selling produce and handicrafts to yachts. The social access is real but limited: a visiting sailor can spend a few pleasant days, share meals, and be genuinely welcomed, but the community is still small and conservative. This is not a social hunting ground; it's a place where you can have a genuine human connection if you approach it respectfully.
Lower score (below 6)
South Maewo's only real claim to outside contact is the Asanvari anchorage, which means your social world here is limited to whichever yacht crew happens to be anchored when you are. The local community is friendly to visiting sailors in a transactional, hospitality-focused way that doesn't translate to deeper social access. There's no road to anywhere, no accommodation infrastructure, no power grid, and the community is governed by kastom norms that limit how outsiders interact with local women regardless of how many yachts have passed through.
