11 | Sailing the Marquesas Islands, Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa

We cruised our classic wooden sailboat Julia to many spectacular anchorages on Nuku Hiva and Hiva Oa. This is south pacific sailing as we have always dreamed it would be. The spectacular green scenery of the Marquesas has overwhelmed us with soaring cliffs, beautiful beaches, and swaying palm trees. Julia is an Ingrid Ketch, designed by William Atkin and built in 1960. She is a traditionally built wooden boat, fir planking on oak frames. Our dinghy is skin on frame, designed by Dave Gentry.
