The 8 hour passage from Fatu Hiva to Hiva Oa was uneventful except for the landing of a 30 lb mahi mahi caught on a handline. Ninety percent of the fish was given to other cruisers in the anchorage and some local people who came by to give me some grapefruit. My friends on "Bold Spirit" from Seattle, also anchored in the bay, had me over for dinner. This is one of the main benefits of sharing the catch. Today I go to the gendarmarie to check in with the authorities.
