Aratika Magasins

15° 30.5′ S · 145° 27.3′ W · approximate

One or two tiny village stores with dry and canned basics. Bring everything you need: Aratika has no grid power, so nothing frozen or fresh.

Practical

Coordinate approximate: taken as Paparara's church (OpenStreetMap) because Hoodoo places the store 'in the village, by the town dock'. Hoodoo (Nov 2020): a small magasin by the town dock, no fresh goods. Caos (Aug 2018): 2 very small shops, nothing frozen because there is no power. You might order goods to come on the supply ship (Cobia 3, about every 2 weeks). No fuel, no ATM. Provision fully at Fakarava (Rotoava) before coming.
