Pago Pago Market Bar-b-que
A few days ago I had a few beers at the market place. John and Michele, from the boat Canondale, were invited to a going away party. I went along. This is Polu with them. One night John's dinghy came loose. He noticed an hour or so later it was missing and called for help. I picked him up and we went down wind looking for it. When we got to the end of the bay, it was banging on the rocks with no motor, gas tank or oars! They were neatly stacked on shore next to Polu's truck. He is the watchman for the market. He saw the dinghy banging on the rocks and got the motor off before it was damaged.
John went back the next day to properly thank Polu. They became good drinking friends!
After the Bar-b-que and a few (too many) beers. Our boats may be in the background.
