Black Watch, World Cruise - Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia.

Date of cruise:February 2009
Description of your album:
Tahu Ata, one of the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia. A beautiful substitute for the neighbouring island of Hiva Oa where we should have anchored but could not due to very choppy waters. The Captain very cleverly found a sheltered spot close to the island of Tahu Ata.
