Its was a rocky ride. The weather forecast said : winds from the side 10 to 16 knots but it was on the noose 22 to 28 knots. We made it into this lovely bay at 8 am . Unfortunately there is a 2 meter wave breaking at the beach , so no way to get on land in paradise..
WHAT BROKE: small fish got into the toilet and jammed it . Solution : get dirty and take the messy toilet appart and remove stinky dead fish. The ride was so ruff that our mirror cabinet in the bathroom opened up 3 times and spilled pills and creams everywhere Now i got Hamoroid cream in my sunscreen , Viagra in my dental floss and Tiger Balm in the vaseline jar...Oh what fun. Solution : Clean it , fix the doors and try the "new improved" dental floss.
French NKE Multigraph autopilot wind-gismo , set itself into default mode. That means : the display is so bright you cant see anything at night Solution: RTFM (read the fucking (French) manual and re- install EVERY THING.
So were busy for a while and recovering from the slow web in Nuku Hiva . There is no web here , no fone and no TV. I have to try to upload this blog with a broken SSB system. Parts are coming from Switzerland ...in 3 months!!
Apart from that , we are both happy to move again .Sad to leave many new friends behind in Nuku Hiva.
I wonder how long i can take it without news and web.. 3 days max ..i guess what do you think? Knee held up during the bumpy sail...happy.
