Monday, April 11-- we are steaming upwind from Ua Pou to Tahuata  9-45S
139-28W (2 p.m. local)..  We plan to drop anchor at Baie Hanamoenoa,
Tahuata, tonight.

The harbor at Hakahou , Ua Pou, was shallow and tight.  It is used primarily
by supply ships that tie to a quay.  We anchored fore and aft and made a
spot to spend Saturday night. One sailboat was in the harbor, said to be
owned by a local school teacher.  We were the only cruisers.  Dinner ashore
was excellent.  The French have succeeded in passing on their cooking
talents.

Sunday we anchored at Baie Vaiehu, Ua Pou, where we snorkeled in clear, 86
degree water with lots of brightly colored fish.
