Other points of interest
We left Asau on Savaii Island Samoa this morning at 0900
We managed to get out through the reef pass between rain squalls (when visibility would have been very limited) . We enjoyed our time in Samoa and would certainly go there again if we have a chance. Today it has been overcast at times , a warm 28 degrees and easy down wind sailing. We are trying to time our arrival at Wallis to be best for going through the pass and it will mean two days sailing if the wind holds ok. The forecast is for light winds but you never know.
