On 18th May, 2010 we arrived at the dramatically beautiful anchorage of Hanavave, Fatu Hiva after almost 19 days from Isabela. We had a much faster passage than we xpected with several days of winds over 25 knots. Our best day mileage was 180nm. The trip was almost 3000nm. Our average days run was 156nm.
It was great to arrive at such a beautiful island. Unfortunately we cannot add pictures at this time as our main PC has a broken motherboard. We enjoyed about a week in Fatu Hiva before heading north to Hiva Oa to clear in. We had 3 electronic problems all within a week. Our DVD player failed, followed by our PC and then our autopilot course computer. The autopilot was a major concern but we had a new spare just in case. We fitted this only to find that it would intermittently run off course.
After another week we moved to Tahuata island and enjoyed a few nice days in the bay befroe setting off for the 500nm passage to the Tuomotus.
