We were given permission to stop in Nuku Hiva for 4 days, which was extended to 7 days as there was no wind after 4 days, and being a sailboat we couldn’t really leave without wind. While in Nuku Hiva there was a lockdown which necessitated getting a police permission form to provision, only one person from the boat was allowed to go for provisions, no swimming or boat maintenance that required getting in the water, no visiting other boats, a curfew, etc., a pretty serious lockdown all around. On the quarter-mile walk to the grocery store there were 3 police checkpoints. The grocery store allowed only 3 clients at a time and squirted hand sanitizer in your palms before being allowed inside. After a 27 day passage it was difficult to arrive to a lockdown that didn’t even allow us to swim in the gorgeous harbor. There were other boats in the same situation and the active community of sailors on the VHF radio kept us informed of the lockdown rules and helped ease the sense of isolation. The beauty of Nuku Hiva was stunning and it was a great disappointment that we were not allowed to walk around, or sail around and explore the island.
