Hike to the WaterFalls on Fatu Hiva

17 April 2009 | Fatu Hiva, Les Marquises

This anchorage at Fatu Hiva is the windiest we have ever been in! Regularly blowing 10-15, it is gusting to 25 knots. Our wind-generator loves it, producing amps galore. The waterfall hike from Hanavave Bay lasted 90 minutes. The rain had been pouring down, and the waterfall was gushing with water and sediment. It was so blustery at the base of the falls, that we couldn't swim to it, and we couldn't even stay in the area long because the air was filled with heavy spray. In many ways the hike was like a Columbia River Gorge hike with the volcanic rocks, the vibrant green vegetation, some spectacular views. Seeing mangos, papayas, bananas, limes growing along the way was definitely distinct! The people are very friendly. We traded for two local fresh fish this morning, giving them canned salmon in exchange :)
