Estrellita IP38-138 in Micronesia

Estrellita is currently in Palau waiting out the western Pacific typhoon season. For the last two months we have been sailing across the Federated States of Micronesia where we spent a good deal of time in Pohnpei and Yap.



Highlights included the Yap Stick Dancers performing at the Pohnpei Cultural Celebration, the ancient (200bc to 1700ad) ruins of Nan Madol, Stone Money, Betel Nut and an exciting visit at sea from a low flying US Navy P-3 airplane.



Here are some photos…
