Land Ho! We raised a Hiva Oa at sunrise, accompanied by a welcome committee of dolphins. Came into the bay at Atouna, had Glen and Paul help us set our stern anchor and settled in. We took care of the customary officialdom palaver, had a wonderful lunch with Glen and Mary aboard Danica then we explored the village and visited the Paul Gauguin museum, soaking our souls in the delicious colors. In the evening, we had a wonderful BBQ dinner of goat, fish, French cheesy potatoes , coconut rice, and salad. We were entertained by a fun local band, which as the evening progressed, found us dancing to. What a fun first day in paradise!
