Ua Pou

Ua Pou Island

Neighboring bay.

The starting line for the outrigger races.

One of dozens of colorful outriggers that surrounded us that day.

Little one's practicing in the wakes of the big guys.

6 men teams paddled for hours.

They maneuver with remarkable accuracy.

Local children play on Capaz's inflatable kayak.

...and enjoy Julie's company on the swim step of Capaz.

Matthew shows off his style.

Jake (from Capaz) shows off his skill.

Tristan shows us his bravery.

Dad shows us he still has what it takes.

Tod & Julie on Capaz judge fairly.

Tristan going for flair now.

Notice Bruce standing on the boom of Capaz, there are no limits.

The cross we are getting accustomed to seeing atop every anchorage, harkens back to the days of the missionaries.

A shrine and perhaps theater setting high on a hill with the cross.

The spires of Ua Pou peaked out once before we left.

A rare sight to see them through the clouds.
