We had a wonderful sail from Fatu Hiva to Hiva Oa Thursday, coming into the anchorage just as the evening began. Yesterday was spent checking into French Polynesia and buying fresh fruits and vegetables, along with warm French baguettes from the bakery. It was quite an overwhelming morning finding tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, carrots, bok choy, radishes......WOW! I didn't quite realize just how much I missed them!
We found the only public computer in town and it was being used; we need a European adapter for our own computers and the little one we brought into town needed to be charged after being dormant for so long. Sooooo, no internet still. Next week we get to Nuku Hiva. I know there is internet there, and we will be there for a while, hopefully fixing our refrigeration problems, getting our sail repaired, and doing some welding on a fitting which broke during our passage.
We leave for the nearby island of Tahuata today, anchoring with Bambi and Jeff from sv Alexis in Hanamoenoa Bay, and then we are exploring the northwest bays of Hiva Oa, the artisan island of Ua-Huka, and finally resting in Nuku Hiva. We spent a lovely evening on Savannah last night; it was so cool finding them still here and catching up with them. They take off for Fatu Hiva this morning. -S.
