Must say, it's quite a feeling after 14 days at sea when all of a sudden from afar, one can see the silhouette of an island. Not much is said on board as we all live our moments towards the getting back on land.

SAMOA ! Like a cry from the gods...wouw...we did it...2200 nm and we really feel we have arrived at the other end of the world. Everything and everyone seems far farrrr away.

Samoa, at first sight, an amazing lush green island with its big eye-catching cathedral and colourful buses driving along the shoreline. As the harbour is so tiny, and fits no more than 20 boats with a draft of max 2 meters, we find ourselves at anchor at 11.30 am and we will effectively spend some more time 'afloat'.

Our watches have been set forward... we are lost as apparently our tomorrow of yesterday didn't exist... as we just jumped a day! From the 20th straight onto the 22nd!

The rest of the day was spent going from one authority to the other, customs, health, immigration, finally all done by 6pm. A quick dinner and all exhausted in bed and very happy to have a quiet horizontal sleep!
