The Marquesas is our first South Pacific destination and our first chain of islands here in French Polynesia. We’re way the hell out here (took us 24 days to sail here on our modern day catamaran with GPS & Navigation) and yet, people have been making landfall on this island for thousands of years. Surviving, thriving and leaving behind tales of gods, war, love, cannibalism and everything in between. Those were real days of adventure…and definitely a million ways to die!
Despite my puffy eyes, groggy voice and lack of proper caffeine levels at any hour prior to 8am, the early mornings in the Marquesas are divine. The light has a magenta hue, the air smells of salty dew and the variety of fresh veg and fruit would impress even the most avid Pike Place Market lover.
Oh, and the temperatures are perfection at dawn. It’s just the right amount of crisp coolness but not enough to have me reaching for a pair of long pants. Honestly, if the rest of French Polynesia is like this, they might turn this night owl into an early bird.
Given all that, it’s not completely crazy for us to get going at the crack of dawn. So, join us as we do our best to get on “local” time as we wander around the wild world of Nuku Hiva and take in its ancient rituals and cannibalistic grounds.
Shared with LOVE 💕 from all of us here aboard s/v Curiosity,
