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
