Marquesas Islands - French Polynesia

Wyntersea journeyed, 3,500 miles, from the shores of Mexico before arriving in the beautiful island paradise of Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. The Marquesas islands are mystical. Towering peaks are often shrouded in cloud as if hiding secrets of long ago. This documentary examines the life of artists Jacques Brel and Paul Gauguin who made the Marquesas their final home and died there. Sail into bays on the north shores of Nuka Hiva, where writer Robert Louis Stevenson anchored his sailing vessel, Casco, and into the village of Taiohae, where Herman Melville jumped the whaling ship; which inspired him to write Moby Dick and Typee.
