Default Kaoha from Nuku Hiva, Marquesas

Or bonjour, but locals here seem to prefer their own lingo, so when in
Rome...
We had a pretty fast trip, at least for this old wide-body cruising
boat. Left Puerto Vallarta April 1 at 0600 and arrived Hiva Oa April
23 same time. I think that's 22 days? Not too bad for over 2800
miles, but admittedly the favorable 1+ knot current we enjoyed most of
the way helped some.
Finally got to an island with not only internet, but wifi, so I am
sitting in the cockpit at anchor here in Taiohae Bay, enjoying a
pretty decent bottle of French wine, and just thought I'd let you know
the weather is here, and wish you were beautiful, or something like
that.
More about the trip and some pics if I ever get them uploaded (having
a little trouble getting on) www.sailinglinks.com/notes.htm
Now you can go back to politics and meow stuff...

Best,

Mike
