Thanks Jean! The pictures make it look like so much fun…. which I guess some parts were 😉 At first I didn’t think daily posts would be a good idea but the reality was that it made us feel a bit more safe and secure to be ‘checking in’ with so many people each day. We are having a blast on Nuku Hiva now!!

Thank you very much for your posts and allowing to come along with you on this adventure. Your writing and your pictures are a wonderful combination. My daughter and I met you both at the Seattle Boat Show. It’s nice to have a connection. My wife and I live aboard our boat and have been following your blog. Best of luck and congratulations!!
