Aaaargh,
mir laeuft die Zeit davon!
Ist schon nach Mitternacht, und muessen Morgen frueh noch
einiges erledigen,
bevor es weitergeht. Deswegen lass ich jetzt einfach mal die
Bilder sprechen:
Uh, oh, as so often, I’m running out of time.
It’s past midnight
now, and we still have to take care of various things before
heading off
tomorrow morning. But the pictures speak pretty much for
themselves:
Approaching Tahuata from the North end,
bathed in a dramatic light.
Die
Nordkueste Tahuatas empfaengt uns mit einem
spektakulaerem Blick.

A
lovely white sand beach, blue water –
paradise!
Einer
der wenigen weissen Straende (meist nur
Steilkueste) und blaues Wasser – perfekt zum
Entspannen!
|
I love
the painting on the wooden board on the
stern!
Klasse
Bild auf der Kinderabsperrung.

The
artist and her daughter, who most likely
will be able to swim with 2 and a half
years.
Die
Kuenstlerin mit Toechterchen – die wird mit
2 einhalb schon Schwimmen koennen.

The
reason both her children are blond is the
Scandinavian father.
Die
blonden Locken haben die Kinder vom schwed.
Vater – koennten auch meine sein – oder?!?
|
But
no matter how beautiful the surrounding,
there’s always work to do. I spent almost 2
entire days on fixing this spinnaker sock.
Ja,
und nicht immer ist alles paradiesisch. 2
Tage sass ich wirklich so ziemlich von
morgens bis ins Dunkel am Naehen – immer mit
Erfolg!

After
4 days, we moved to a bay of the Southern
coast of Tahuata – mainly because the wind
died on the way to Fatu Hiva. Again, with a
breathtaking coastline. However, it looks
more idyllic than it really is: The beach is
almost non existend and very steep with
black sand. On the boat and ashore, we get
attacked by hundreds of little flies –
surely attracted by the numerous cow, horse
and goat poo on the pasture. And the water
in the bay is rather murky and full of
little stingy things. So after a couple of
hours, we moved half a mile further west,
out of the bay. A bit rolly, as less
protected, but we were most pleasantly
surprised with a beautiful underwater world
with reef fish, big stone heads and deep
canyons. I even saw an octopus (my first!)
and some turtles!
It
was well worthwile the stop!
