Apparently Eric Hiscock rated this anchorage as one of the three most beautiful in Polynesia.
It is 1 1/2 hours sail from Atuona, so we had a leisurely motor over to charge our batteries up. After a few nights of bad swell in the other bay, this is paradise. The turquoise sea, white beach and green hills are magnificent. We know the majority of other sailors in the bay, as we met many around Panama and the Galapagos.
Here we will be able to hopefully fix the water-maker, swim, snorkel and chill out.
(Sorry we can't speak on Skype, as there is no internet, but the messages on iridium work wonderfully!)
