And so to bed
The last week has passed in something of a blur as we have put the boat to bed and sought to balance this with some more fun things to do in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

Journey's end
When we last completed a blog, we were looking for some wind to get some respite from the mirror flat seas we were experiencing. We found it!
Nous sommes arrivee

After 3000 Nautical Miles and 17 days, we arrived in Paradise - also known as Fatu Hiva in the Marquesas just before 1200 (local boat time). We have managed to get ourselves thoroughly confused over local time, but reckon that is 1900 UTC.
The last 24 hours saw us doing more sailing manoeuvres than the preceding 2.5 weeks. We ended up doing three gybes, hoisting and dousing spinnakers and even trimming sail!
The Bay of Virgins is an incredibly beautiful and unspoilt place and we are looking for some exploration tomorrow. It doesnt look like there are any shops here - but loads of fruit in people's gardens and we have been asked by three sets of people to have dinner in their houses tomorrow evening.
Not surprisingly, there is no internet access at all and it would appear that phone signal is, at best, weak.
Havent yet worked out who is standing which watches tonight - we wont know what to do with 7 hours unbroken sleep!
Thank you following us, probably wont post daily from now on.
