The adventure continues on Ua Pou, as we explore more and spend time with the local family here in the Marquesas. A new friendship has evolved and we are so thankful to have been welcomed back with so much generosity and love.
We also welcome and reunite...

It was nice to get a good nights ...
Sailing backwards against the trade winds has historically been very difficult, and as we start our 800 nautical mile trek back eastward for the Tuamotus and Marquesas Islands, we see why!
We encounter just about everything mother nature and Neptune can ...
Our friends have finally arrived with our boat parts to fix the dingy and we are super anxious to finally get moving again. The winds that we have expected are still around and we want to make sure we catch this window to set sail back up to the Tuamotus o...
