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. |
Ryan from Capaz and Ross from New Dawn |
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) |

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 |
