After having been battered by the elements on the high seas for more than four months, David Meigs' 35 ft trimaran "Extended Adolescence" was put up for sale in Pago Pago at the end of August.
"Extended Adolescence", with Meigs, a 23-year-old American, sail ing solo, put into Pago on August 20 after Meigs had virtually been given up for lost on a voyage to Honolulu. Meigs had left Pago for Honolulu on April 12 but bad weather and contrary winds forced him to backtrack after he reached the vicinity of Kingman Reef. Nothing was heard from him until he returned to Pago four months and eight days later. (PIM, Sept., p. 11.) Our picture of "Extended Ado lescence" was taken before Meigs' attempted voyage to Honolulu.
