COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE – Pago Pago, American Samoa (68 miles to go)

We departed Rose Atoll after two lovely days there and I will write about it all when we arrive in Pago Pago (pronounced Pango Pango).
We may be stuck on the boat for a day as US Customs there is closed on the weekends.

Most of today has been a motor boat ride with light winds from astern and as Nikki\’s asleep and it\’s quite dark out tonight, I won\’t wake her to set sail, we\’ve only 10 hours or so to go. The wind just came up.

We are currently just south of the islands of Ta\’u and Manu\’a which are part of American Samoa. We also passed an area a few hours ago where it was marked \”Volcanic Activity\” (last reported 2001). Glad the water wasn\’t too hot!..:-)

Looking forward to some good old fashioned US Provisioning. There is a McDonalds and Carl\’s Jr. here as well as a Costco! Who knew!
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
