. The police is chasing us during 2 days as we changed anchorage and were supposed to clear in despite our cruising permit, they found us in the empty store of the main village; After serious formalities, they drove us wiyh their Pick up to the big catholic church in the south... the local cathedral built by french almost 100 years ago; who knows about this story ? ...How the small communauty can maintain such a huge monument in life ?

The best map of the island is in the police station

The store: 3 days before arrival of the monthly cargo boat

The friendliest police in the world is in ROTUMA

All of that done almost 100 years ago in the middle of nowhere...

The bell imported from Orleans FRANCE

Today around the church and the cemetary, regular coprah work

The cemetary as an open book about the history

If anybody want to help the tiny communauty to maintain the place and the church of SUMI as it is...
