Report from Bosun Bertram:

Waterfalls, jungle and perfect little bays. Nuku Hiva is an amazing place, but apparently French Polynesia has a lot more to offer! Today we prepare and provision before we will take Oceans of Hope around the corner tomorrow morning to the next bay, where we will spend the day preparing for our coming journey south to the Tuamotus islands. 

Local time on board is 07:15 and our current position is 08.914547'S 140.100771'W.

A bit about Nuku Hiva:

Nuku Hiva is a volcanic island of the northwestern Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia, in the central South Pacific Ocean. Nuku Hiva is the Marquesas’ principal island. It is also widely regarded as the most beautiful of the Marquesas. Its rugged wooded terrain rises to Mount Tekao (3,888 feet) and is drained by small streams. There is no coastal plain or fringing coral reef. The island has remains of numerous Polynesian stone house foundations, fortifications, and temples. The island was first sighted by the French navigator Étienne Marchand in 1791.
