Awesome variety and great catch report! There's very little that can be done when adverse weather strikes in the far remotes  :-\

Hi Guys,
Many thanks for the kind words, I forgot to add the pictures of the last leg on the connecting flight from Raivavae to the main Island,
there was a festival and a big gathering on one of the islands and the plane was full with decorative crowns and necklaces made up with fresh flower with an astonishing smell that takes your breath away, enjoy it!

  Tight lines
    Sami




Who said it is not safe to fuel it that way :)

Great pics Sami, great colours. Damn shame about the wind.
As someone who works in the Aviation fuel industry that has to be the dodgiest fuelling setup I've ever seen.
