Had good passage today from Hiva Oa to Nuka Hiva. Was to windward, so a lot of work. Someone.....??? forgot to dog down the hatch in the forward Vee Birth and all is wet with seawater. We'll waste another tank of expensive RO water on that one.
This place is beautiful and according to several of the books, it is the most photographed anchorage in the world showing cruisers and cruising boats. It is hard to describe, the pictures, (when we get real internet) will tell a much better story.
After 7 hours of bashing into the seas and wind we arrived here. There were about half a dozen boats when we arrived and then Tony and Gail on Cetacea came in a couple hours later.
