View of the East side of Saipan
Just another sunset shot...
One good thing about squalls out here is that there's a lot of pretty rainbows to look at! So far no pots of gold (or dolphins) at the end...
Another beautiful day coming to and end...
Look closely - this is our data program - Beaufort 2, 5 knots of wind, and a smiling face! FINALLY!!!
The island of Guguan, 6th island north of Guam in the Northern Mariana Islands chain - shrouded in rain and fog. It's uninhabited (mostly because it's one big lava rock I think) and tons of birds nest on it...
Just as we came around the west side of Guguan the rain cleared. You can see the lava rock running straight into the ocean (there's an active volcano on the island) and the lush tropical foliage...
I know, I know, another sunset shot. Just couldn't resist now that the weather has improved!!!
The island of Saipan looking at the northern end - the cliffs are called Banzai cliffs - where a lot of Japanese jumped to their deaths when the Americans arrived during WWII. Now there's a memorial and park there...We also saw the humpbacks here!
