Over half the yachts have now arrived in Hiva Oa and there have been some great parties! Two nights ago everybody that had come in, went to a hill top restaurant for a superb meal and entertainment. Today’s photo was taken at the restaurant and is a local dancer in traditional dress and movements to match!
There are very unfortunately three yachts still in the Galapagos awaiting spare parts all “stuck” in Ecuador in customs! The parts have been delayed there up to three weeks and one of the owners is flying today to Ecuador “to start World War III”. This is a totally unacceptable situation and the peeked capped customs officials with gold braid applet’s, need to be told very firmly that they are doing thier country immense harm as yacht will not stop in mainland Ecuador with this totally unnecessary hassle. We all hope that this will be resolved very soon to allow the three yachts to leave and catch us up!
