Huahine is retrospectively one of my favourite islands, wonderful landscapes and lovely inhabitants. Spending the days discovering the island, the local tourist-office representative was most friendly.
Extraordinary moments conversing with the local fishermen's women in charge of selling the freshly caught fish. Their kindness and sincerity with which they shared their concern about overfishing, their views on the central government in Tahiti, on their daily sales-schedule: starting by selling in the harbour then driving around the island in their "truck with -fish-in-the-back" delivering to the local community, a small scale balanced effort of catch-and-eat.
Drawing from the harbour:
