Island Fresh....

Just before leaving Baie de Taiohae, Nuku Hiva, we stocked up on local veggies and fruits. The fishermen were just preparing their day's catch for sale. We bought yellowtail for $7.00 a kilo. Paul grilled it, and we now have enough already cooked to use for fajitas and fish burgers for 2-3 days.

We entered a cove, Baie de Taioa, just a few miles from where we were. What an amazing treasure! We entered a small passage which opened up to a set of anchorages both surrounded by beaches and steep walls. There is access to Vaipo waterfall that they say is the 3rd largest in the world. Unfortunately, everyone that we've seen after going there is covered in bites. We have decided to just enjoy these secluded bays before the passage to the Tutumotus and Google the waterfalls. There are 3 other boats here. Comfortable & secure here. No bugs so far.
A good place to study the charts and plan our next sail.

Thanks Ethel for sending the FOCUS parade entry unfortunately I can't open it here. Great to have FOCUS represented thanks to Lorna and all who made it happen!
It's a long walk in the heat!

Love, Leslie
