Hiva Oa was delightful. The small Taahuku bay which
required fore and aft anchoring to stop boats swinging about.
![]() With the beautiful little town of Atuona
![]() in an amphitheatre surrounded by mountains.
![]() In the centre of the town was the excellent Guaguin museum
with his House of Joy
![]() and many excellent painted copies of his
works.
![]() Of course a lot of boats spent a lot of time repairing
damage done during the crossing. This was Shayele, the boat that lost its
forestay, but there are always plenty of yachties around to lend a hand and a
word of advice
