Hakatea Bay, Nuku Hiva
We found another quiet anchorage with dramatic views on
the mountainous land, waterfalls cascading down the cliff
face. In Nuku Hiva it rained every day, but never for long and
the hot sun quickly dries out the puddles of water. The humidity in the air can
sometimes be pretty high, making it rather uncomfortable, being hot and
sticky.
We were able to fill our water tanks with the downpour,
which is very handy as there is no drinking water available here.
Now we are getting ship-shape for our 500 miles passage
to the Tuamotus, there is always so much to do before heading out for a longer
passage.
