The fridge finally got fixed last Sunday night! We drank wine with Msr. Michelle to celebrate and picked his brain some more about Tahitian ways. We set sail for the Island of Moorea on Monday morning. Thank goodness Moorea is only a 2.5 hour sail from Tahiti because the fridge broke again [...]

We are still here. We fixed the engine and just after that the refrigeration compressor went bad. So that has taken another 3 days to get fixed. Luckily it went out in Tahiti as there are a lot of parts available here.
We did a lot of shopping during the week to stock the boat with [...]

Mike and I returned from the States late one evening to be held up at immigration because they did not like the fact that we were granted a 90 day stay when we arrived in Marquesas late June. Apparently they only like to grant Americans 30 days stay. They eventually let us go [...]

This island is the second largest atoll in the world. It is 40 miles long an 17 miles wide at the widest point. The population is [...]

We spent the last several days on the island of Nuku Hiva in Marquesas. Baie de Taiohae is a main harbor with a small town where we spent most of our time. We found this harbor to have lots of sea life. A few days ago we had a 5ft Hammerhead shark come [...]

Here we are back on the boat. While Mike and I returned to Colorado for a week to take care of some business and catch up with some family, Gary enjoyed sailing and touring a few more of the Marquesas Islands. He went to Ua Pou, Atuona, Tahuata and Nuku-Hiva. Mike and [...]
