The anchorage may be chaotic, but the scenery is awesome! Clouds constantly pile up against the tall mountain peak that overlooks Atuona. After a heavy rain, five waterfalls plunge down its vertical sides. We spent the weekend cleaning the boat, inspecting the food stocks, drying the bilges. During our 7 passage from Gambier, one of the benches got wet due to a leaky hatch gasket (which we are now trying to fix, again) so several cans of food were damaged. A disheartening job! Every so often we’d stop and stare at the mountain’s atmospheric display.

Did you go ashore to hike? That looks like a formidable mountain to climb.
A beautiful setting.
Wow! I’d never heard of this magical looking place. Beautiful!
