Fatu Hiva

We are actually living the dream and sailing the French Polynesia! Anchored at Fatu Hiva yesterday and it was amazingly beautiful. We felt as though we were hiking in a postcard and then went swimming in a pool under the waterfall with a couple of new friends, Jerry and Gail. It was so much fun! The guys though beat us to the pool and neglected to tell us gals that there was a huge eel swimming around when they first got in. I probably would have had second thoughts before jumping in if I had known. The water though was so refreshing after the hike as it is very hot and HUMID here.

Currently writing this from Tahuata with plans for tomorrow to move on to Nuku Hiva where we will be able to take on more fuel and provisions before making the really big jump to the Tuamotus which should have coral heads and crystal blue shallow waters. Since internet is almost nonexistent here, I cannot post pictures at this point, but hopefully will be able to do so in a few days in Nuku Hiva. So for the moment you will have to just believe that the landscape is amazingly beautiful and the people very friendly. Dave and I are having a great time!
