Viewing the evening’s sunset from the comfort of the cockpit settee
A sliver of the moon rises out beyond the fading light of dusk
The most magnificent night sky of my life
Land ho! Ua Huka appears out of the distance some 20 miles in front of us
Powering down the coast of Ua Huka into the setting sun, under spinnaker
The familiar hazy cliffs of French Polynesia
Keeping speed high to reach the anchorage before last light
Enjoying the first walk on land in almost 4 weeks
The dark, marbled volcanic sand
Although usually uninhabited, Ua Huka has some homes for passing Marquesans
Taking advantage of having caught my smallest blue marlin, and filling the freezer
The spread of most successful lures on this passage
