We had been warned that the hospitality here at Nuka Hiva was subject to some big variations in the degree of the welcome offered to cruise ship passengers. In fact we found ourselves questioning whether or now we would go ashore here or not. Eventually we decided we would go and we are glad we did as the welcome was as good if not better then several of the other islands or atolls we have visited - as you can see below.
We found a number of vendors offering their goods and some nicely developed areas to walk and enjoy the view. Although still very warm and humid it was a nice way to end or adventure in the south pacific.

Now it is on to San Diego over the next six days. Don't know how much there will be to add tot he blog unless someone wins big in the casino or some such thing. We will be crossing the Equator again but I doubt it will be the event it was coming down here to the southern ocean. I guess time will tell. Meanwhile here is some perspective of where we are and how far we have to go. By the time we reach San Diego we will have done something in excess of 8k miles at an average speed of around 15 to 17 knots.
