To paraphrase Crosby Stills and Nash in "Southern Cross" by the time we hit this port, we had already done the "downhill run to Papeete", and when we left this port, we found that "off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas."

A most unusual place, and the entry into the lagoon was a tight squeeze with a heavy race -- the captain did a great job getting us in. It is a place known for its black pearls, and seems quite prosperous. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pass right by their main naval base on the way to the berth.Spent three days there as crew during Carnival. Crazy times! Wonderful city but also with some dangerous areas Edited September 22, 2020 by Copper10-8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
