Tuhuata 4-(22-27)-2017--Hanamoena Bay

What Hanamoena anchorage on the NW side of Tahuata Island lacks in dramatic scenery it makes up for with clear water, a coconut palm fringed white sand beach and good snorkeling.

By the way, more photos have now been added to the Fatu Hiva page, including Humberto lowering his mother into the dinghy.


Pearl enjoys the anchorage at Hanamoena anchorage on Tahuata Island. This anchorage is one of the few in the Marquesas with white sand beaches and clear water.  The snorkeling was wonderful compared to anything else we found in the Marquesas.  

Pearl and the Hanamoena anchorage.

Our French friend Natalie and her 4 year old daughter Maylie and 2 year old son Liwa. Natalie and her husband Fabian have lived on their ferro cement schooner for 6 years.  The kids are totally at home on the boat, climbing though the rigging, going back and forth between boat and dinghy, etc. 

Sebastian and his wife Valerie sailed from Montreal with their three children.  The name of their boat was a tongue in cheek play on words from ships called Panamax which are designed to be the largest possible able to transit the Panama Canal.
