Gambiers – Marquesas

 

Rikitea, Gambiers islands ,our first contact with french Polynesia, with the people’s kindness, the cheerfulness of the children who invite us to their school party : polynesian danses and declamatory art contest. We will meet also other sailing boats, some we had cross months ago and for the first time mutual assistance, friendship, that’s so good !

The wind will have some difficulty to push us to the Marquesas and for this we will appreciate even more Hanavave, Fatu Hiva. The arrival in Virgen’s bay is gorgeous, it’s the most beautiful anchorage we know. The island is not too densely populated, there is not too much 4 wheels drive, the nature is splendid and here also we will make links with the inhabitants, here also it will be hard to leave…
