landfall

It's green!! All we've seen is blue for the last 3 weeks. We dropped anchor at 5:30 a.m. this morning and went to bed. Now we're putting the dinghy together and preparing to go to shore. Surprisingly the kids are in no hurry to get off the boat, they are just happy to not be moving. Another cruiser on a CSY stopped by this morning to give us all the local scoop on sharks, bugs, crooks and seafood poisoning. Welcome to the Marquesas. We have to figure out the administrative hoops to jump through today.

There has been a strike on the supply ships recently, so they have just had their first shipment. There has been no flour. We're all looking forward to french bread, so hopefully they start baking soon.

There is another kid boat close by too. We're also looking forward to Wyndeavor arriving in a week or so.

All for now, we'll keep in touch. Appartently there is internet here too, so you can write to us.
