WR is at anchor at Hiva Oa

We reached the eastern end of the island in the night, hove to, and at the crack of dawn finished the trip under motor and sail. As we moved to anchor among the other boats my friend Joe Ohl from Spokane dinghied over to help us set a stern anchor. They arrived a few days ago from the Galopagos. We are unwinding after 26 days and ca 2760 miles. We haven't explored yet, but at first glance it seems to be some sort of paradise.

Congratulations Uncle Kit! Mom was just telling me of your wonderful progress on your long voyage. It looks like you are getting to see a part of the world few people get to witness first hand. I wish everybody good luck and wind in your sail(s)!
