Yay - we arrived at Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva today at 13.30 local time - 3,000 miles - 18 days and 2 hours after leaving Isabela Galapagos. We have been placed under quarantine, which means know one is allowed on or off Askari, but we did enjoy a swim already. We don't know what comes next, we are waiting to hear from the authorities but are extremely grateful to the FP government for allowing us to make a stop here. Other boats are allowed to drop things off so long as they don't come aboard- we had a warm welcome from Stephen and Debbie on Amelie as we anchored and they brought us a care package of a couple of cold Hinano beers and some fruit. Our friend Bev on Dandelion heard us arrive and of course was straight on the radio to say hello. We felt so welcome.
Proper update to follow.... but we did catch two tuna on the way in and are now drinking the champagne x x
