18th May Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva, Marquesas, French Polynesia

We spent the morning with the dinghy on the dock gluing the rubbing strip back on - we had pulled it off in the Las Perlas with the intention of re gluing it the next day but then the wind had changed and we had left for the Galapagos the next day.
After a walk to allow the glue to dry and a visit to the supermarket to buy bread we headed back to newt for lunch.
After lunch we headed in to pick up our washing to hang out on the boat to dry (it was cheaper to just get it washed and it is so hot here it will dry really quickly)
When the others had gone to check in they had been told that we were anchored in a restricted area so had decided to move. We were going to stay put because there was another German boat anchored with us but they are leaving tomorrow so we decided to move.
After moving Kate had a siesta and Jonny read his book.
At 3pm we headed ashore for an ice cream party - on the 17th it was Norweigen Independence Day and at home to celebrate the kids get to eat lots of ice cream so Ina (Lucey Blue) organised an ice cream party ashore. You had to take a bowl and a spoon and we bought big tubs of ice cream from the shop - it was great!!
Another dvd and early night ended the day.
