Marquesas Update: The ship has come in! The supply ship that is, Aranui 5. Bigger than I thought and more hustle and bustle than I imagined. Lots of traffic, lots of containers, everywhere is restocked and people are in the prowl for newly arrived goods . Apparently an “every couple weeks” thing this time of year.

It looks like I’ll get to haul out. The boss says OK.

I hitchhiked into town and back, bought some delicious and still warm French bread, and went to the artisanal fair where I ate a delicious piece of barbequed fish.

Lots of rain last night, and as per usual, lots of heat during the day.

Thanks Monica, ‘Lectronic Latitude, and Latitude 38 for another Resourceful Sailor installment. This one talks about whisker poles for Sampaguita.
