Great Report WT73, reminds me when I did the Hopper back in Apr/May 2019.
Eff me, another one I should write a TR on in this lifetime
And I'll apologize for the intrusion, but would I suggest taking WT73Jr. along?
It's quite the eye-opener "Once in a Lifetime" Adventure going all the way out there

I can't get WT73Jr off his iPhone so much these days. A trip like this might drive him mad.

Keep in mind - this route is a major lifeline for the islands.

Fabulous trip report! I've seen it a long while on the boards but never had the time reading through all of it. Only now I finally had the chance and I didn't regret it for one minute. Great pictures, and a very informative and entertaining read as well. Thanks for posting.
I've always wanted to do the island hopper (+ adding on Yap/Palau as proper stops to visit) and each time I read a proper flight report like this on it, it keeps on getting higher on my bucket list.

Hell I already have the title, Intro and 16 out of 56 parts written.
Problem is I need to find something to host my photos, used to use flickr but can't access my account no more
Oh and my photos sizes are 5-9mb a photo @ ~100 pics a part...
Loading them on FT directly might crash everyone's screen
There's also editing troubleshooting needed too, how to find a balance between PC and "You're Fired"
Thanks for the encouragement WT73
, I'll try to have something out by Christmas.Don't want to post anything until its got a significant portion completed.
Better a phone then Teenage Pregnancy LOL!!!
