Swells above, fish below. Several colorful mahi-mahi come to play while we dodge thunderstorms in the channel between Upolu and Savai’i, the two islands that comprise the country of Samoa.

Editor’s Note: Last year, photographer and writer Jess McGlothlin embarked on an exploratory trip to Samoa. Not to surf, but to fly-fish and live the island life on island time. Jess is one of our newest contributors. She’s gifted behind the lens (and the keyboard, for that matter). This restless traveler’s work is well worth exploring, and inspires in its own right.
