Our shortest stay! 2 hours and off again.

We arrived in the early hours of the morning and stood off shore while the Aranui 3 entered the harbour. It's the supply/ passenger ship coming from the capital Papeete/Tahiti every 3 weeks. After the Aranui, we entered the small harbour and anchored. Just as we had breakfast and looked forward to catch up on sleep, heavy drilling work started for the wharf extention. So after an hour of sleep, we up-anchored and sailed the 25 miles North to Nuku Hiva.
