A chap has just turned up to fumigate the boat. I have no idea why. We have no bugs. Seems to be some sort of official requirement.
Heike joined the crew yesterday. All ready for one of the longest stretches of open water on the planet. Heike has already taken charge of provisioning and Colin and myself were used as pack-animals at the local Farmer's Market early this morning. Provisioning here has been difficult as the only supermarket is not so super and has been virtually cleaned out.
Departure for the Marquesas is tomorrow.
