This morning started with fresh, still warm croissants hand delivered to our site by the campground host. You can pre-order baked goods for the next day at most campgrounds, but these were the freshest so far.
We got an early start today to avoid the worst of the afternoon headwinds, and we only planned a short day. I’ve been battling a cold for most of the trip, and I forwarded the latest sinus infection to Chris yesterday, so we’re both feeling under the weather. I’ve shortened our days for the next while to build us both back up.
One response to “Slowing Down the Pace”
Croissants delivered to your campsite sounds pretty luxurious! We had to go into town 4km away for our first croissants in Grench Polynesia. We got a ride in and trekked back later in the afternoon after exploring the town.
There are no SIM cards available in Hiva Oa. So we’re glad to have Starlink aboard for communication. The joys of travelling to outpost places. All good.
Meeting up with orher cruisers. There’s definitely more of a European mux to the boats here, and we’ve befriended a young couple from Quebec, who just 9 months ago were sailing in Scotland – making us look like slouches but I think we’ve earned the right ;-). They’re on a Bruce Roberts 38 steel boat with no autopilot, no refrigeration and a kerosene stove. They’re heading to NZ – Little Town near Christchurch where they will have work visas for the next couple of years.
Glad to hear you’ve slowed down. Bummer about the colds. Hope you’re back closer to 100% soon.
