With the new moon phase, it was pitch black. It is a small cove, less than 1/4 mile wide and deep. We approached with deliberate speed, with our Furuno 25 kw radar, commercial depth sounder and scanning sonar painting a perfect picture. Hanamoenoa is considered to have one of the best beaches in Polynesia. It is just off the channel between Tahuata and Hiva Oa. This slot accelerates trade winds and results in heavy showers, as clouds pass by. This morning, our boat was squeaky clean. One of our correspondents asked for fuel information for our crossing from Hawaii. Our route covered 1,980 nm, we burned 1,126 gallons of fuel and traveled for four hours short of 12 days. Fuel use was confirmed by filling the main tanks and adding the two 115 gallon rear tanks that were not filled. Our burn rate was 1.76 nm/gallon, including generator fuel. Our average speed was 6.97 kts, including stops for fishing and oil checks. We experienced more head winds, seas and current than expected; however, our base plan was 7 kts and 1.8 nm/gallon. In calm seas and currents, we average 8 kts and 2 nm/gallon. Our Flo Scan fuel computer accurately showed us our burn rate and consumption totals, so we knew that we would have ample fuel supply to reach our destination, without slowing. (Editor's note: The fuel burn for the 1,980-nautical-mile passage at 6.97 knots was 3.96 gallons per hour.) Fuel at Taiohae, Nuku Hiva was pre-arranged through Polynesia Yacht Services of Tahiti, with the French oil company, Total. We estimated needing 3,200 liters and took on 3,505. The fuel service obtained a duty-free rate of $2.14/gallon. Fuel was gravity fed by hose from a large storage tank and we were med-moored with our stern tied to a concrete dock and held off by our anchor. It is unclear whether sufficient supplies would have been available for the volume we purchased, without prior notice.
