Ua-Pou was a 67 mile sail to the north west from Tahuata and
so we went overnight, seeing this spectacular skyline as we approached the
island first thing in the morning. The anchorage is in a small harbour partly
protected from the swell by a breakwater. There are a few local boats moored in
the harbour and the supply ship ties up to the wharf, which it did while we
were there, waking us up early in the morning as it turned just in front of
us.
 A spectacular approach.
 We had the harbour almost to ourselves - there was
just one other yacht anchored here.
 The cloud over the mountains was constantly
changing.
 The entrance to the small
harbour.
  Just the 2 of us, with the quay behind and the
breakwater to the left.
