The main island in Marquesas. A lot of cars, modern houses, shops and infrastructure, so it really feels like Europe. There are 2 internet providers via wifi with access right from the boat. Leaving today and was thinking of stopping by one or two of the Tuamotu atolls, but it's probably not going to happen - there are still fuel issues and I don't have that much fuel anyway. Just enough to leave and get back to an anchorage in Tahiti. Maybe motor for a couple of hours if there is no wind near the island...
My dinghy capsized in waves near the shore and phone got in the water. Unfortunately, all the pictures and videos of Nuku Hiva and Ua Poe are now gone(
