We made it.... aaaaahhhhh

This is a very brief post, but we just want you all to know that we finally arrived at Taioha'e Bay on Nuku-Hiva island in the Marquesas on Sunday, 14 April. It took us 28 days to traverse the Pacific. Well, it really took us 27 days and 22 hours, but 28 is close enough!!

We arrived at dawn on an overcast and calm Sunday morning. The sight and smell of land was so beautiful. We surveyed the bay for a good place to drop the anchor, had a beer and went straight to bed. Man, we were so tired!

When we awoke, we had to pinch ourselves to make sure we weren't dreaming of being at anchor. After a brief look around, we realized it was real and we were in fact anchored in a bay. Oh the joy of it! We set about inflating the dinghy, put some of the passage gear away then finally made it ashore for a much needed meal and a ground that didn't move! The land wobbles were extreme. There was no way either of us could walk a straight line. That night, we slept for a solid 12 hours. Bliss.

There is so much more to say, but you'll have to wait till tomorrow.... It takes a lot of time to assemble 28 days of information.

Stay tuned, there's more to come soon.
We just wanted to say we're safe and sound :)
