Arrived 1000 Wednesday 6th May 2015 Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva, Marquesas, French Polynesia. Paradise destination achieved. We’ve had our first beer (and a few), showered at the Marie! Eaten out, taken a shroud as a pattern for the rigger to copy in Tahiti and slept the full night through.
 
This has to be one of the most stunningly beautiful anchorages I have seen. A small town, whole island population 1800 people, everything pristinely kept and surrounded by mountains. It truly feels “idyllic!”
 
Passage time: 22.9 days. Miles travelled 3107 nm.
