Yes, Gauguin is buried on Hiva Oa, but he ended his life as a bit of an outcast...turns out Gauguin was a bit of a pedophile. <br /><br />Our interpretations of Marquesan life in upcoming posts...<br /><br />KirstenSV Silhouettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584641746877990703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645013456263487918.post-71962343575669248192012-06-23T20:02:06.424-07:002012-06-23T20:02:06.424-07:00Fantastic!

Only experienced something similar once when crossing the Gulf of Maine to Nova Scotia. Made harbor in the dark (understand that decision) and was met by a fisherman who we had talked with on the radio. Was fortunate because he came down to the harbor to meet us only to find his boat hung up on the dock - the tides in NS are huge. He was able to power off and happy ending. Looking at the map it's pretty amazing to see that you're only half way across the Pacific. I guess it will be island hopping the rest of the way. More beautiful tropical paradises to explore - I'm jealous. Funny, the Gauguin exhibit was just here at SAM and I read that he's buried on that island. You get to make your own interpretation of Marquesa life.
