Ensemble - 2 June 2012: Greetings from Pago Pago!



Greetings from yacht Ensemble.

We arrived off Pago Pago, US Samoa, in the early hours of this morning. At day break, Wind Dancer led us in to the harbour.

The harbour is well sheltered - but busy with a large Tuna fishing fleet and a US Navy base. We even met a tanker on the way out!

We didn't waste time and went straight to the works jetty. The insurance agency Ship Wright, Gerry, was there to meet us. Once we'd been to the Port Authority and Customs, we spent the day going through the damage. Unfortunately, because of a backlog of work, the boat won't be able to be lifted out until Tuesday (at the earliest). Still, the prognosis isn't too bad - with no internal evidence of structural damage. So fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, Britt, Shadow and Magali indulged in making homemade peanut butter and had a MacDonald's fix, before Britt and Shadow went back to Zoe.

This evening we'll catch up with the rest of the gang and start making plans for the next steps.

Cheers

Dave & Magali
