I suggest you read up on the treatment by officials in Washington of the people in Guam, American Samoa, Northern Marianas island, puerto rico, US Virgin islands,… You wouldn’t “probably” do the same as the French, you ARE doing the same. Except the fact the people in French polynesia can vote for french elections, while not all US islands around the world have that right in US elections.

In reply to erik. That is rain on the radar.... which often comes along with a sudden burst of wind that normally lasts for 15-30 minutes. If you have too much sail up when it hits, you can be screwed-o-rama, so we watch out for them like an Eagle Scout.

Hearing your cheerful voices this evening from Hiva Oa was unforgettably euphoric and emotional, and the best birthday present Pops could have.
Bravo to Salties and Javi for your safe 4,000 mile Pacific voyage .. our pride runneth over!
