Pictures of beautiful Suwarrow - finally!

I know, we have almost been in Western Samoa a week and I am just getting around to posting some pictures - must be island time.

As you can see, we had a amazing time in Suwarrow and met some wonderful cruisers that we will see again and again. Always good to meet new friends.

Ranger Harry and Charlie did a great job of making us all feel welcome, plus showing us Suwarrow. We will never forget them!

In case you are going to Suwarrow, here are a couple of tips:

1) Use floats on your anchor chain. The anchorage has lots of coral heads that your chain will wrap around. We anchored several times before finally putting on the floats. Much better.

2) If you are going fishing or spearfishing in the pass, be sure to bring your fish in really fast. If not, the sharks will take them.

That's it - enjoy the pictures!
