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.

Sailing Lady Africa
We are a couple from sunny South Africa who decided to buy an old 1991 36.5ft Dean Sailing Catamaran, do a complete rebuild on her and sail the world. We started our boat build in 2018 and completed here in 2020 where we left South Africa and completed an Atlantic Crossing to the Caribbean. Amidst all of this we applied to become US Residents. So follow our journey as we sail the Caribbean and set up a new life in a new country.
