Asolare is now in Fatu Hiva, the southernmost island in the Marquesas. We are with three other ARC yachts, Branec IV, Into the Blue and Chantelle. The anchorage is stunning as you can see in the attached photo.
We are refilling diving bottles for ourselves and Into the Blue as the water is teeming with fish and very clear. Later this morning we are going to walk and climb with Into the Blue for about two hours to a waterfall and take a packed lunch to enjoy after a swim in the waterfall pool. Not sure if I can stand all this excitement! Just seen three of four very large Tuna leaping high out of the water with a ring of Dolphins all around them. This was right next to the yacht and the frenzy and foam was amazing! All went suddenly quiet so either the Tuna got away, or more likely there are about 12 happy dolphins!

Another beautiful photo, ... but you can't go far wrong with a view like THAT! [Wonder what a Dolphin's burp sounds like? Poor Tuna!]
How idyllic and excitingly exotic the islands look. would love to be sharing the fun.

we'd all love to be sharing the fun !!
I would like to be associated with the comments of the last 'speaker' (smile). Couldn't have put it better myself!
Hopefully we will be able to share in the paradise later on! Shame we can't make it next weekend.
