We weren't allowed on the ISLAND!? 😟 | St Helena Island | Atlantic Crossing

EP 163:We weren't allowed on the ISLAND!? After a 1200nm sail from Walvis Bay, Namibia to ST Helena Island.. we were hoping by some miracle we were allowed on the Island.. That was not the case and were told under strict instructions not to get off the boat at all! We were allowed to dive around our boat and clean the hull and check our mooring but not swim out to far. We weren't allowed to visit any other boats.. even Patricia and Allen who have sailed with us from Cape Town to Namibia and now ST Helena.. but we were grateful that we could fill up with diesel and water and get some sort of fresh provisions.. although it was damn expensive. The swimming and diving was absolutely incredible and the water was as blue as blue can be. Since we couldn't go ashore.. we took the drone up to check out the island from a cell phone screen... it was better than nothing. We had some steering problems and had a bit of air in the system. We couldn't do a proper bleed at sea so got down to bleeding the system thoroughly and serviced our engines while we were at it. Then it was a 700nm journey off to Ascension Island.
