So I thought I had found all the dead squid and
flying fish and removed them but I hadn´t looked in the anchor locker.It was
heaving with rotting fish lying ontop of the chain.Cleaned out washed.Problem
solved.How people rave about eating these things?
Slightly on today at Hanatefau Bay.Superb anchorage
beneath the steep but palm covered cliffs.There is a village with a church and a
small shop.Very colourful . beautiful trees laden with fruit.A new small harbour
to tie the dingy and get ashore dry.Some old thatched buidings and heavy larva
stone ruins.Old men carving wood.Clear blue sea and dolphins around the
boat.
All the fruit trees are owned so I cann´t pick but
then no one seems to be picking fruit.They seem very happy with French social
security.They were loaded a peculiar fruit which was explained as ´medicina´ in
franglais.
Tomorrow it´s an early start for Nika Hiva.Approx
80nm downwind.Sorry to leave here.
