We dropped anchor in Mangareva at 1045 hours. It's so calm in here compared to the last three days of sailing! We're tired, so exploration will have to wait. Since this is our first port of call in French Polynesia, our six month extended stay visa starts now, and we'll have to go see the gendarme and check in with officialdom later today. We're anchored in front of the village of Rikitea, which is known for their black pearl farming. High bluffs and a prominent church are noticeable when you first enter the lagoon, and the lush green of the surrounding hills is a welcome treat.
