Nuku Hiva

We have moved on from Hiva Oa to the island of Nuku Hiva. We wanted to move anchorage from the main bay at Atuona on Hiva Oa to the north side of the island, and the bays did look inviting, if you were on land, but the white caps breaking on the shore lead us to believe that it would be pretty rough to anchor, so we moved on. We motored on to Nuku Hiva and arrived last evening at 10:00 pm in the dark. It is a nice large bay and the sea conditions are very calm compared to where we have been so far. We gave the boat a quick splash this morning then headed into town to explore. Nice little town and we will be back again for more adventures tomorrow. It is so nice not to be wobbling back and forth at anchor.
