Sailing to American Samoa from Suwarrow Island| Ep.39
We left Suwarrow Island and start heading to American Samoa.
The 448nm passage from the Cook Islands of Suwarrow to American Samoa was an experience we will never forget.
We had a couple days with light wind once we left Suwarrow, then we had a couple days with mix weather, light and strong winds at times thanks to the squalls and one last day of light winds and rain squalls that transitioned to a scary storm that change from a few knots of wind over the course of an hour to blowing 20 knots and kept climbing to a 40+ knots winds and lighting.
When the storm started we were 20 miles off American Samoa. We thought it would be dangerous to get in the harbor at nights, so we decided to drifted and ride the storm.
It was a really scary the storm that last all night till the morning. We were exhausted. None of us slept much.
Early in the morning the storm was getting calmer but we were still waiting to see when was the best time to start motoring into the Harbor Pago Pago before the weather gets bad again, we didn’t want to encounter a squall coming in. An hour later we decided to go for it.
After a rough 5 days passage, We made it safe to American Samoa.
The port of Pago Pago is located in the island of Tutuila the largest island in American Samoa and is one of the world’s largest natural harbors. The harbor is surrounded and sheltered by mountains Mount Alava, Mount Matafao and Rainmaker Mountain.
We arrived on a Sunday and we had to wait to check into the country the next day. Sundays in American Samoa are observed as a national day of rest and the people spend the day with theirs families.
The people of American Samoa are very proud of their strong Samoan culture and heritage where family life and Christian values form the basis of their society.
We checked out the famous Fagatogo market in town to buy some of Tongan authentic handcraft and buy some veggies and fruits.
July in American Samoa is pretty wet and windy and the anchorage at the Harbor has been challenging.
During our stay in American Samoa we visited Aunuʻu a small volcanic island off the southeastern shore of Tutuila. To get there we have to get a 15 minute boat ride from Tutuila Island. Aunu’u is a very tranquil and small island with a population of 436 persons. We hiked around the island and found a couple cool spots to hang out.
The people of American Samoa celebrate the raising of the American flag on Tutuila island with the famous Fautasi Race. Every village of the island compete racing a samoan long boat, they are around 100 feet long and can accommodate a rowing crew of 50 people. The winners of this year was Nuuuli’s with the Manulele Tausala low rider, the strength of its crew and its captain were amazing.
After a couple months we were ready to leave Pago Pago Harbor and start our voyage to the Kingdom of Tonga.

As the first winter storm with a large north west swell was approaching we decided to leave the Big Island and head to Hale o Lono Harbor on Molokai which is a safe anchorage in most conditions.

We sailed through the night and the next evening we arrived...

Wow, this has got to be the cutest voiceover of all the sailing channels I’ve subscribed to! I think I’m subscriber number 510? Keep posting. Looking forwards for new video.
Thank you so much!
Good morning from Nz. That is my favourite atoll. Suwarrow or Suvarrow. Different spelling, same pronunciation. I have Tom Neales book. Fantastic reading. Did you not meet Harry and Tina, the wardens/custodians on Anchorage.??. Sadly in later years, Tom was accused of being a squatter by the Cook Islands govt. However at the time of his residency, it was still governed by Nz. And of course, Tom never caused any problem while at the atoll. I see on the signpost, pointing to areas of the world, it has Auckland Nz, but fails to include Timaru, the place of his birth. Auckland has nothing to do with Tom Neale life according to my research. Anyway, thanks for sharing. I am subscribed to your channel.
Suwarrow was amazing and it was so beautiful too. We are glad we made it there. Thank you so much for subscribing we appreciate it!
you must upload 1440hd video for more view from people around the world , this a video just 720hd
I luv your dog reminds me of my dog ! Such a epic adventure your daughter is growing up right. Can’t wait to take my daughters on adventures like this

Nice job, that was quite a haul! And excellent narration 🤙
nice
love the vid guys hope your doing this regularly
That was intense,epic captain.what was the deal with them kicking you out the anchorage.? One day I hope to be like you and your family !!
I always loved this boat.I used to drive to Buzzard Rock just to see it. I came down and talked to you one evening not too long after you bought it. You really did an awesome job on it. I saw where you ended up selling it for the Cat. I hope the Gold Eagle ended up in good hands. The big Cat will be a great fit for you. Good luck and happy adventures.
Heyyyy!! We met at honomalino bay one day and our kids had a great time playing in the sand. Hope you head back to the big island again, hit us up if you do 🙂🌺
❤ I luv that boat epic helm , beautiful bay 🍻🍻🍻 Great video !!
I hope you got a good deal on that boat as much work as it needed they should have paid you.
What's the maximum mast height to get from Kentucky lake to mobile?
Hi, the maximum height is 50’. Which is Gold Eagles mast height. Be careful and go slow as the water levels rise. We bent the wind indicator off on one bridge.
What kind of a catamaran is that?
It’s a Norman Cross Trimaran
Nice bong
Did you get a new camera? The picture seems improved, more realistic and beautiful Hawaii.
Thank you !! 😊 This was film on my iPhone, the phone camera is so good but I just ordered all new gear so the next episodes going to South Pacific will be wat better quality. Slowly getting better at this but is so fun !
