Winter is around the corner, the weather is starting to improve and the yachties are coming into town. The first yacht of the season pulled into Apia Harbor today. The return of the yachts is like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano. It signals the change in the seasons. The cyclone season is over. The seas again are safe for small craft. Mostly importanly, the weather is starting to improve dramatically.
We caught the tail end of the yacht season last year and there some seriously impressive boats in Apia. I'm mostly interested because I'm hoping to leave Samoa by boat when I finish my service here.
I was out in the harbor taking pictures at sunset. It was a really beautiful day and the sunset almost looked like the ones I used to see in Los Angeles with orange and brown bands in the sky made by the smog, except there is no smog here.
