Strolling around Hiva OA!

So, the check-in went smoothly! After declaration was filled out on line, they stamped my passport and off I went to pay the city a tax for staying in their waters!

We rented a car and drove around the island, bought another months worth of groceries, cleaned and organized the boat! We dropped off laundry yesterday that will be ready tomorrow hopefully! I also tootled around the anchorage to meet sailors from around the world! I found a bunch of Swedes, Norwegians, French and a Canadian/US sailors! The weather has been wet here! A ton of rain is expected in the north Marquises so many are heading to the islands south of here! We’re undecided what to do! I’m anxious to get out of this anchorage though as it’s rolly and water is brown from all the soil runoff!
