There is a small protected harbor with nice floating docks. You can see the island of Guam, which is only 40 nautical miles south of Rota. Once a year there is a Guam/Rota sailing race organized by the Marianas Yacht Club based in Guam. Rota is worth the effort if you're in the area and provides a good contrast from the hustle/bustle of Guam which is so nearby.
After a sailing trip to Rota was delayed, then cancelled due a tropical storm moving into the area, we eventually decided to fly down instead. Rota is very remote and only a few thousand people calling the island home. There is a very rural feel to the island, with growing sweet potatoes and limited tourism composing the largest parts of the economy. We did some diving out there, with 60 ft+ visibility, but there were strong currents on the eastern (windward) side of the island. Like Saipan, there are plenty of dive sites if you have a boat, but limited shore diving opportunities. I got to meet the mayor and some business partners of a friend; we actually stayed with them but there are a few hotels/guest houses; some people just camp at the beach for free. Coconut Crab is the local delicacy and we were lucky enough to catch one during the day (unique since they are mainly nocturnal). Our hosts cooked it up and we all had a great feast. Everyone seems to know everyone else and the locals are super friendly. Most people wave as you drive by. There is a small protected harbor with nice floating docks.

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
