Sailing between the village of Hakahetau and the north coast of Ua Pou, we found a remote anchorage to spend the night. It was so scenic!  

Then we sailed into Hakahau, which is the main town in Ua Pou, located on the north corner of the island. It is a nice harbor with swirly winds and beautiful views. 

Gusty trade winds funnel down the valley; a catamaran even bumped into us at anchor. So we   moored with a bow anchor and stern bridle at their ship’s wharf.
