The Fatu Hive anchorage is awesome!! Glad we detoured there for 24 hours before heading up to Nuku Hiva--which we are now doing and will be there at first light tomorrow.
Challenging walk to a waterfall this morning--  good exercise after many days at sea.
Yesterday we had lunch ashore with a local family--sort of paying guests but great value and delicious wahoo ceviche
Everything is an exchange--a bottle of wine buys a lot!! eg more fruit than you can carry!!
 
Beautiful sailing weather today--good wind, moderate sea, blue sky..................and the dramatic backdrop of Fatu Hiva falling astern.
