Even though Hiva’Oa and all of its so very kind people are real beautiful, Guppy and I have travel urges again.. There is nothing that will hold us. Guppy feels clean and tidy, the water tanks are full and – not the least that’s for sure – I have real original French baguettes on board. Today I will hoist my anchors for the 770 nautical miles route to Tahiti [1426 kilometres or 886 land miles]. With all the reefs and many atolls that lie just above the water surface this will a bit more difficult run! Most of the yachts are staying here for quite some time and so this means that each one goes his own way. And so it is time to go meet new people and to visit more Pacific islands.
