Arrived in Hanavave (Bay of Virgins) today, one of the best known and most spectacular anchorages in the Marquesas. A tricky anchorage with only a small area of suitable depth, 7 boats already here, and wind bullets roaring down from the surrounding mountains. A great bonus was finding an internet service that I could subscribe to from the boat! Some young guys fron the village came by in their dinghy and traded with James for some of his old fishing lures. In return they went over to the village and came back with pamplemousse (grapefruit) and lemons. We plan to spend a few days here and in the next village to the south before heading off to the Tuamotus.
