Ann and Barry are off again on the 450 nm crossing to American Samoa. The weather as they departed was beautiful with some light winds and good weather fore casted for the next few days. The sailors are hoping to catch the tail end of a large culture festival held in the American Samoa's. The cultural festival is only held every 4 years and over 70 pacific countries are represented. Sound amazing.
There is a small write up from a few boats that were caught in the nasty weather that Ann and Barry experienced on there last crossing from Bora Bora, here is a link if you would like to check it out.
