We departed Hakahetau Bay, Ua Pou Island, Marquesas this morning, next stop Fakarava Tuamotus. Lloyd and Charlie went ashore as we readied the boat and returned with a stalk of green bananas now ripening on Mistress stern radar post. In return for the bananas they bought 2 kids an ice cream at village store, not a bad trade!
ETA to Fakarava Tuamotus is three days. Great to be at sea again, currently reaching, full main and #3, average speed 8.5 knots. Lads are keen to crack out a 200 miler for 24 hour, should be easy if wind holds.
Two weeks in Marquesas was fantastic, crew now excited to see coral atolls and lads want surf! Lesley ads a lovely element to male crew and boys have cleaned up their act!
