After a couple of nights in Ou Pau, a pleasant enough spot, we upped and left for Nuka Hiva. The plan was to make for an anchoreage on the NE corner of the islands but the winds were all wrong and we actually had to go25nm TO WINDWARD! Yes, we sailed to windward, this is all wrong, I didn't sign up for this. Be that as it may, a pleasant anchorage in a wood-lined arm off the main bay. There is allegedly a town here but I guess it depends what you call a town. In this case about three houses and a landing wharf for the inter-island freighter. A night here then off to the main town, I feel.
