Isle de Tahuata

Anchored in HanaTefua with Lawur

Baie de Hapatoni - vantage point from the cross on the hill.

Local church and it's cemetery near by.

Road through town lined with high rock walls from long ago.

Set amongst bananas, coconuts and noni trees.

Rich old trees lined the street of town.

This is how you bring power to an island.

Hiking through Tahuata, we later heard it is dangerous because of falling coconuts.

Cross and shrine set high on a hill side.

Cross with names carved in it.

Now that's a cozy anchorage. Matthew knows a good spot when he see's one.

Matthew takes lessons with Dad on breathing with his regulator.

Catholic Church in Resolution Bay

Built with wood from the island...

...and rocks from the balast of old ships.

Colorful stained glass windows outside...

...and inside.

Laura from New Dawn rests in the shelter of the church

Large amazing breadfruit trees.

They grew as large as Ryan's head.

Tod & Julie of Capaz on the edges, Robert from Lawur and Laura from New Dawn wait out the rain.

Rainbow over Resolution Bay (Baie de Ivaiva)

Ryan sporting some new ink.

Ancient sites of paepae's onced used for ceremonies and rituals.

Brothers in their sunday best.

Looked as though new buildings had been added to the old rock formations.

Baie de Hanamoenoa, northern most anchorage we stayed in on Tahuata - we loved to watch this blow hole
