We.have arrived safely in Hiva Oa, Marquesas. It is probably best known as the final resting place of painter Paul Gaugin. The island has high ridges covered in vegetation which soar up out of the sea. It was great to step onto land and we received a traditional Polynesian welcome.
We intend to stay here a few days to refuel and make some repairs then we will head off to Nuka Hiva and then out to the Tuamotos.
