28 April 2012
Anchored off James Town.
What a day. Joyce’s
Jehovah Witness friend showed us St Helena .
High Knoll Fort, Jonathan at Plantation House, Boer graves, Deadwood plain
where the Boers were camped, Millennium Forest – a big restoration project,
Longwood house – an amazing tour guide, Bell rock, and I don’t know how many of
Rosemund’s family. We got back expecting to find Craig who to deliver 200lts of
diesel for which I had drawn 100GBP extra to pay for. No such luck. We will see
tomorrow.
Supper Left over from last night
29 April 2012
No diesel today so we will have to delay our departure until
tomorrow after getting diesel.
Sorted out the port engine. The problem stemmed from the top
rubber seal which was no longer attached to the plate, hence when water leaked
in – from the boarding ladder – and got above the seal it set the alarm off. As
there is no ways we can attach the top rubber with any hope of success I have
disconnected the alarm and will use the engine as normal.
Joyce and George went off to church while Rob and I got hooked
up to wifi and managed to get a good grib map down. Therefore looking forward
to a fairly gentle sail to Fortaleza
After lunch at Ann’s Place Rob and I walked up the bottom of Heart
Falls
Supper Pork goulash and noodles.
Leaving St Helena today after diesel.
Cheers
Chris
