We are almost finished with our stay here as time is getting short to get to Australia by November. Doing lots of provisioning taking advantage of the good prices and selection. Bought a new portable cd player as the one in our laptop died, the salt environment is hard on everything.
Today we went to customs to get our clearance papers and pay our port fees to leave the country. Hoping to head out tomorrow for 'New Potatoes' the first island in the Tonga group. that is not the real name but no one can spell it or say it.
Info:
See previous article Titled Suwarrow and Pago Pago for more info on Pago Pago. It is good harbor to anchor in though did get quite windy at times. Call port control when entering and then anchor or take one of the few buoys available. We then dinghy over to customs dock and the large building has four different offices, Port captain, Quarantine, agriculture and cant remember you have to visit, a slow process and to finish you have a 15 minute walk up the road for the last checkin I think it's customs and when you leave they hit you up for about $160 dollars. There was great Internet service here and cheap on boat, if you got a booster. Good laundry on shore at head of bay good cheap bus service, we filled our propane tank here no problem.
