A day at sea and yet another day in school! We have one more sea day until we reach Pago Pago, American Samoa. The port talk this morning on Pago Pago was very interesting. It seems that there is a great deal of tuna fishing and processing in this area and we were cautioned not to judge the island based on the port area! It is very much a working port, with all of its tuna fishing boats, processing plants, oil storage tanks etc. We are planning on taking an island tour and after that we will explore the main town/city area on foot. There is a national park there and we are planning also to try to go there. Not enough hours in those port days either! The time is passing too quickly!
