Enjoying the lush tropical Marquesas

Position 09 54S, 139 06W Tahuata Island.
Loving the breezy and cloudy weather. The tall mountains "catch" the clouds so its rainy, lush and green. Keeps the heat down too.
There are fruit and flowers everywhere - its so green. We hiked to a waterfall the other day, muddy and wet, but spectacular.
The island people are, on the whole, friendly and give us fruit, especially the huge grapefruit called pamplemoose; they are sweeter than usual and massive.........yum yum.
Just taking our time ambling along the island chain. Lots of other boats arriving now, so new faces to meet, new boats to look at,k and new stories from the long passage.
