We are en route from Atuona, Hiva Oa to Baie Hanavave, Fatu Hiva. At noon on April 15, our fix was 10-14.6S 138-49.5W. This morning, we caught a large mahi mahi off Tahuata Island, re-filling our freezer space. Atuona is picturesque and populated with charming Marquesans. While walking to town, several vehicles stopped to offer us a ride. The nearby harbor at Tahauku is protected by a small breakwater. Cruisers are relegated to the back of the bay to keep room for local boats. So, we were packed cheek to jowl with about a dozen sailboats. All used bow and stern anchors, so it worked. Atuona is the southern Marquesas port of entry, which tends to concentrate boats arriving in the islands. Besides that, it is a place that would be easy to linger. Fatu Hiva will be our last stop in the Marquesas. Next we turn west to the Tuomotus. Dick and Gail Barnes Aboard Ice Dancer Nordhavn 50 #22
