"It turned out to be a rather busy day - we anchored at 10:30, then had celebratory drinks on Solent Venture, with crew from Spring Gold, Sabbatical, and a singlehanded American. We then walked 5 km to the village to check in but found the gendarmerie closed. Then when we got back we had a barbeque on shore with the other 5 boats who came in today. One of them had caught a large (read: massive!) swordfish and some dorado, so the fish was delicious.
"We'll check in tomorrow, and look around a bit, then probably sail overnight to Nuku Hiva, and spend a couple of days there."
