Back to Tahuata – May 16, 2014

We came back to Tahuata because we love it so much, and the bay is one of the few clear water, coral, white sandy beaches, etc. in the Marquesas. We wanted some more shore time! And it was only 2 hours away.

We met another kid boat in Hiva Oa, so we did a kid swap. They have 3 kids, 9 (boy), 4 (girl) and 3 (boy). So it was a 2:1 ratio. We gave them 2 boys and they gave us 1 girl. We headed out. Coming out of the bay was getting a lot of bounce back waves and we were really rocking and getting a bit nauseated. Once we hit the channel, things got smooth. Apparently both of our boys got sick doing that ride on a mono-hull! Poor guys. But they enjoyed being with their friend, although they said they would not like to do that again. The girls on our boat had a fashion show with new swimsuits every about 5 minutes. I didn't go down due to nausea, but feared how the living room might be looking! But they were cute and having a great time.

We arrived in the bay, with many boats here, including our friends on Elena with the 3 boys. Yeah!! A gaggle of boys. We launched our kayaks and got to shore!
