Swedish vessel reported 2022-12-29
“Hi
everyone! Just want to give you a heads up so nobody else does the same
mistake as we did. Christmas Island and Fanning Island in Kiribati is
still closed! Don’t sail there! We did, hoping to celebrate Christmas on
Christmas Island with our children.
We had to sail on. Just arrived in American Samoa after a Christmas at sea.
We got reassurance from Tarawa that Christmas Island was open but it didn’t help.”
