Practical

Approximate: placed in Pouheva village ashore of the village anchorage (Soggy Paws waypoint 16°37.6S / 143°34.3W) and west of the lighthouse (16°37'14"S / 143°34'08"W, French Wikipedia); the exact building is not geolocated in any source, so walk from the dinghy dock using the directions here. Tel +689 87 243 404 (Soggy Paws; the same number is listed for the egg farm). The compendium also suggests calling Tahi (Denise), +689 87 26 32 54, who makes excellent coconut bread, available only on Sundays. Prices and hours: verify locally.
