Anchored in Daniel's Bay Nuku Hiva
Hi all, After a week in the main harbor of Nuku Hiva we have gotten back underway. Our first adventure was a long hard hike to a waterfall in Daniel's Bay. The hike was hard and we pretty much destroyed Paul. He worked it hard and we got back to the starting point about an hour before dark. There is a family there that sell's a Polynesian meal. Janet and Paul had Tuna and I had Pork. It was served with home made lemonade, mango-guava-papaya salad, breadfruit fries, and ICE CREME! Ater dinner we left in a bit of a hurry to catch the last little bit of light to get off the beach, thru the surf in our wee little boat with 3 very tired people in it. Janet and Paul got wetter than planned but it worked and got back to Tango for showers and drinks. A great day, tho pretty taxing because of the hike.
Tomorrow around lunch we will start an overnight sail to Hiva Oa. We should arrive around lunch Friday and we hope to fuel (diesel and gas for the boat). After that we plan to head to Fatu Hiva. One of the bays is called Bay of the Virgins and it too has a hike to a waterfall. I'm just betting that Paul will sit this one out... Fatu Hiva has been described to us as the most beautiful place on earth. Fatu is about 45 miles from Hiva Oa so that will take us a full day of sailing. We'll make a plan fo rthat after we arrive in Hiva Oa. We hope to catch up to Rapture and enjoy a joint Fatu adventure.
