After three faboluos days on Hiva oa, we felt ready to go to sea
again.
- We are “checked in” in the Frensh Polynesia
- Spirit got some attention not only in the engine but also on the huul,
yes after 16 days in the warm ocean the hull was not black, it was green and on
top of that we fond small shrimps look aliked things stucked in the stern. No
idea for how long they had hitch-hiked...
- We got some more provisioning and we defenitely got some culture
- Elsa and I got three super nice morning joggs
- and Spirit also got some top up with diesel
The diesel was a bit of an effort... we used our jerry-tanks of 30 litres
and went four turns to the fuel station with the dinghy.
Puh!
The locals gave us fruit and now we have bananas for all the way to
Tahiti!
So ready to leave!
We stopped for a wounderful swim and lunch break 10 Nm south of Hiva oa in
a georgeous little bay on Tahuata.
I just have to say TURQOISE!!
Sailing again. We haven’t decided exactly which atoll in the Tuamutos we
aim at,
the wind will decide!
