We made landfall in Taiohae Bay, Nuka Hiva at 1430 hours on the 7th of June, 2005 after a 22 day passage from Avalon Harbor, Catalina. Paul Krier, Navigator Supreme, had been here 30 years ago on the Schooner Rejoice and, sadly, he and Richard Gelinas had to leave us two days later to return to the States. They had originally only signed on for a short leg but got Shanghied for the Pacific Crossing.

These are just some of the shots of the Marquesas. I'll be adding logs and captions when I can. The Marquesas, specifically Nuku Hiva, are the Islands where Herman Melville, as a young lad, jumped ship from a whaling ship and got the inspiration for Typee. Also there is a shot of the bay that the TV show Survivor used.
