Day 15

Wow what an amazing trip we have had, for the last 3 days the sea has been flat with no wind. Rob put the swimming pool on the foredeck and we had a dip. The water temp is 25C. Last night on my duty watch, 9pm to midnight, I marvelled at the stars. With no moon the stars were so bright I felt I could reach up and touch them. The sky is just so full of stars it lights the way, truly an amazing site!

Not much to see out here, we did see a huge fish just below the surface, think it was a whale shark, it was about 4m long. Reading wise I have finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson. Great book, will start the second in the trilogy soon.

After 6 days at sea it was wonderful to sea land today. We have arrived at St Helena Island!

The doctor has been to take our temperatures and confirm good health. The customs came on board and tomorrow we need to go to immigration to stamp our passports and pay 27 British Pounds. There are 13 other cruising yachts here.

Tomorrow we will go ashore and expore while we wait for our friends on Yacht 'Searenity' to arrive.

I will download some photos at the internet cafe. No cell phone signal here.
