Leaving Samoa

It is a sad day for Nikita. We will be leaving Samoa on Tuesday, bound for Tonga. This time though s/v Broken Compass (Chad and Bret) and s/v Liquid Courage (Don and Devin) will be going separate ways. We have developed very special friendships with all four of them, based on our mutual lover for snorkeling, card games and beer. The kids as well got along well so it is a sad day, lots of miles covered together - about 4,500 all together. Fair winds and following seas boys.

American Samoa has been great, we got our refrigeration repaired, provisioned the boat very cheaply, did some hiking and ...... visited Tisas Barefoot Bar, a dangerous haunt 15 years ago, is still the same in a gorgeous setting on the beach with cold beer, fabulous food and great people.
