Hanaiapa Bay, French Polynesia

Hello All,
We made it to the next bay to the east on Hiva Oa. We left Hanamenu Bay at 0500 this morning. We had to motor for a half hour till the wind picked up and when it did we headed north so we could tack back in to the bay. We only had to go off about 7 miles to get back to the Island. Going from east to west is against the wind for us but once we get around the corner we will be on a beam reach down to Fatu Hiva. I think we will stay here a few days, it is a beautiful bay and very well protected from easterly winds. There is a little village here that is connected by road to Atuona. I took the dingy in for a bit today but didn't look around to much. Tobias went snorkeling by the beach, the water is very clear here. I think we set a new record for heat today,93 degrees. Can you say hot!
Well that is all I know for now so we will talk to you soon.


PEACE
