5 More Days!!
11 April 2008 | Pacific Ocean
If the winds and current stay constant, in 5 days we will be putting our anchor down in Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands!!! We encountered a few more squalls last night, but with milder winds. It is nice to have the outside of our boat clean. The inside is a disaster, but will have to wait until we get anchored and things are a little calmer. The weather has been good today and all is good onboard. We are reading about the islands and atolls deciding which ones to visit. French Polynesia covers quite a bit of territory (Tahiti, Papeete, Moorea, Society Islands, Bora Bora etc) and the initial visa is only 30 days. We have read that some US who have applied have been denied, so our plans will be contingent upon whether we can obtain the 90 day visa.
