The following photos are arranged chronologically, oldest at the top...
One of many birds we see far from land. I'm sure ships are a
novelty, so they often come over to investigate. |
Squall approaching from the left of the photo. Can we dodge
it? |
One of the many days we spent sailing in 30+ knots, with double-reefed
main and working jib. |
Time for another sail change - Barb lost the toss! |
Barb decides to try her new dentures out. Not too clear,
but one of the front teeth is pierced and has a loop in it :-) |
Typical beautiful sunrise. Only two or three times were
there no clouds on the horizon obscuring the actual rise... |
Here we are a few meters across the Equator. The GPS seemed to
deal fine with the rollover - but we took a star fix later just to check. |
Cake is always appreciated. This time our excuse is the
official entry into the South Pacific. |
Bjarne sewing up a French courtesy flag for our arrival in French
Polynesia |
The education continues: coconuts come in an outer wrapper, which
a saw is handy for removing. Then one just needs to crack the shell...
|
Our first sighting of land! We spotted Hatatu silhouetted as the
sun set. |
Nuku Hiva at dawn. The verdant growth was a clue as to the
rainy climate. |
Here's Taiohae Bay, seen from shore. This is the administrative
centre of the island. |
