This is one of the most picturesque/dramatic anchorages in all of the south pacific. Mountains and rock spires in the clouds. The pictures are always a little hazy because there is so much moisture rising from these lush islands.
Tahuata was gorgeous. Two nights we anchored off of a deserted beach full of fruit trees, and snorkeled with Manta rays. Then we explored a little town--On Monday a fellow on Tahuata picked some ripe mangoes off of one of his trees for us. Unbelievably good.
Yesterday we spent sailing here. We arrived about sunset last night from Tahuata--about an 11 hour sail. We caught a nice little tuna which we had for dinner--marinated in soy, ginger, garlic and rice wine vineager, then rolled in crushed saltine crackers and pan fried in olive oil.
Today we will check out Ua Pou, but will likely move on to Nuku Hiva early this afternoon. We'll see. We are on a mission to find the waterfall that is over 900 feet tall. We thought the waterfall on Fatu Hiva was amazing--and it was only 200 something feet tall.
