June 11th-Fata- Hiva to Ua-Pou

Hello everyone-

This morning we went ashore to do some trading/purchasing of tapa cloth,
wood carvings, fruit & fish & to say goodbye to our new Marquesan
friends. They are such sweet, open, beautiful people. Fatu-Hiva is the
most pristine village I’ve ever been to & nearly the most primitive. The
combination of rugged, dramatic scenery and humid tropical warmth give
it a fairy-tale feel. We pulled up anchors at noon and are now underway
toward Ua-Pou. We should arrive there late tomorrow.

Love,
Darla
