TAHUATA: Fixing our SAILBOAT in PARADISE, Marquesas, French Polynesia, Hanamoenoa to Vaitahu S2E9
If you are going to do boat projects, you might as well be anchored in paradise. Hanamoenoa Bay and the town of Vaitahu, Tahuata are paradises just off the beaten path that are often skipped by Pacific Puddle Jump boats. Linus tells you about 5 projects he did in Tahuata while enjoying the island. Tahuata is just a few miles from the dark and crowded waters of the Atuona, Hiva Oa and its anchorage at Tahauku Bay. Hanamoenoa Bay has clear water and white sand beaches which are rare in the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. They are also frequented by Manta Rays but Linus did not see them.
Linus visits the town of Vaitahu and its uncrowded anchorage. There is a store and some potable water at the dock, but there is a lot of swell. Landing and launching the dinghy can be tricky. The Walker Bay dinghy get swamps several times while Linus visits the village.
At the end of the video, Linus replaces the belts and the impeller to the Yanmar 3gm30f but forgets to do something at the end.
