Here we are, anchored in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean at the tiny volcanic island of St Helena. After two weeks at sea, dropping the anchor into crystal-clear water, surrounded by an abundance of marine life, made every mile of the crossing worthwhile.
St Helena may be one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, but for sailors, it's been an important landfall for centuries. Long before us modern day sailors crossed these waters, generations of seafarers relied on this tiny island as a welcome sight after months at sea.
It was First discovered by the Portuguese in 1502 while searching for a sea route between Europe and India, it's easy to see why they tried to keep it a secret. With Fresh water, fertile land and a safe place to rest made St Helena a priceless stop in the middle of an otherwise unforgiving ocean.
By the mid-1600s, England's East India Company recognised just how strategically important the island was. This very bay of Jamestown would have been filled with tall sailing ships carrying tea, spices, silk, cotton and other precious cargo bound for Europe.
The island became so valuable to the Brits, who still govern the island today, they fortified it with batteries and forts overlooking the harbour to protect both the island and the ships anchored below. Like how’s this fort we are anchored under now!
For nearly 200 years, St Helena served as one of the most important resupply ports in the world. And in many ways, not much has changed. Today, us yachties arrive here for exactly the same reasons those early explorers did all those years ago
