I tried to visit Canton Island in the Phoenix Group in September 2014. Apparently, they are now aiming to become a “World Heritage Site”, so you do need a permit to sail there. I applied for and received permission, but one of the requirements would have been to carry and pay a local observer the whole time in the Phoenix Group – including the trip there!
In order to comply with this, I was asked to pay for a round trip ticket between Kiribati and Samoa for my personal observer, in addition to paying him US$ 50 each day aboard – and feeding him of course.
Needless to say, I ended up not visiting the Phoenix Islands.
