Below are pictures from the third place we stayed in the Marquesas: Hanatefau Bay, Tahuata Island.
 
Picture 1 - Our boat anchored in Hanatefau Bay, as viewed from the village of Hapatoni.
 
Picture 2 - Also Hanatefau Bay (our boat is to the left), just a slightly different view taken from our dinghy as we motored back to our boat from the village.
 
Picture 3 - Tree and stonewall lined main street of Hapatoni village.
 
Picture 4 - Inside of the only church in Hapatoni village.
 
Picture 5 - The famous Cyril paddling his modern version of an outrigger canoe.  Note the massive tattoos and long ponytail (he is very proud of both and claims there is no other man in the Marquesas with these distinctive features).
 
Picture 6 - Cyril pulling out all of his bone carvings to show - necklaces, earrings,  pendants, rings, napkin rings, tiki, etc.
 
Picture 7 - Machete wielding Cyril chopping down the banana tree.
 
Picture 8 -  Can't go too long without at least one Pacific sunset picture.
