Hiva Oa to Nuka Hiva

Captain's Blog 05/02/2015 - Hiva Oa to Nuka Hiva

We have been resting in the harbor at Atuona on the island of Hiva Oa.  It is a very small harbor and is crowded with other sailboats behind the breakwater.  We are anchored outside and it is a little bumpy with the swell.  We did laundry and rented a small car to tour the island.  It is stunningly beautiful and very rugged island.  We drove along the ridge at the top to a small hamlet called Paumau where there is very old ruins with tiki statues and ceremonial platforms.  We plan to depart here in the morning and sail to Fatu Hiva before moving on to the larger island of Nuka Hiva. All is well. We will share more photos on our Facebook page as the week progresses. 

Thanks for staying with us!

Sea Mercy is a benevolent program developed for disaster and critical care needs for remote islanders. Sea Mercy is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charity with a simple vision and mission to "stand in the gap" with a service delivery vessel, trained health care volunteers, support equipment, and critical care services as island nations develop their "outer island" health care infrastructure, when critical health care need opportunities are present, or when disasters occur. We welcome you to consider donating on our behalf to Sea Mercy - they have several ways to get involved and are so grateful for your support.

Sea Mercy's Corporate "We Care" Program is designed to help organizations attract and engage clients, vendors, and employees in the spirit of social responsibility and provide a wonderfully enriching partnership. There are several ways to participate with "We Care". Visit Sea Mercy's website for additional information. If you know of an organization or would like to involve yours, please share this information forward.

Sea Mercy is now working to raise funds to assist with the sheer devastation from Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu. You can learn more here, and please consider a donation or even a medical rotation if you're able. The people of Vanuatu can use help and prayers at this time.
