A lovely sight this morning as we sailed into a small bay at Nuku Hiva, the Marquesas, French Polynesia. Only a little glitch getting ashore as this is a tender port...3 of the 4 tenders had engine problems. The captain was not happy. We arrived on shore about 10:30 and we're greeted by lovely women giving us flowers accompanied by drums and conch shell blasts. The temperature was probably 80...not bad. We walked the shoreline and saw several "tikis" that are all around, talked with a local briefly in my ancient French...and watched several men in outriggers try to surf our tender waves. A lovely day! Tomorrow is a sea day.
