Subject: Taiohae

We just arrived in the main anchorage of Nuku Hiva called Bai Taiohae, and we have wifi!!!  We’ll be going ashore for awhile, but hopefully I’ll get to upload photos and movies by days end.

We had a great time at Baie du Controleur where we hiked to a waterfall and caught up with old friends from our summer in the sea of cortez.

Love and miss you all,

-D.
