While Guam is a long way from almost anywhere it is a good place to work on boats, I spent six weeks fixing everything that had broken between Fiji and Guam on our way to Japan. It is a fully US island with FedEx service for US-sourced parts that are delivered in seven days!

The boat mechanics are good and the only boat service we needed and could not get was sailmaking.

All in all not a bad place to buy a boat if you want to explore the Philipines or Japan.
