Our World Cruise Route
The black line shows our 2009 itinerary and the red is 2010. Well, we’ve had 7 great days of sailing the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Nuku Hiva-French Polynesia this morning about 8:00. Thought we’d include the world map of our journey, which shows this years’ route in red and last years’ in black. For a better view, click on it and it will enlarge.
Nuku Hiva, the “Mystic Island” is the largest island at about 127 sq. miles in the Marquesas archipelago, which is the most northern island group in French Polynesia, nearly 1,000 miles from Tahiti. The islands are rugged volcanic islands and there is no barrier reef here so the surf crashes into the rocky shoreline. Nuku Hiva has a population of approx. 2,600 residents. It was made famous in about 2001 when “Survivor Marquesas” was filmed here.
Today, we are treated to a Regent-sponsored gala event of local culture, dance, food and hand-made crafts & wares.

Did I ask you if they served the pig? It looked like it was smiling at me from the photo . . .
