Nexus - 40nm to go, will arrive this afternoon in St Helena!



With 40nm to go, will arrive this afternoon in St Helena, a protectorate of the UK! Reported to be the most remote island on earth with the closest other land being Ascension Island to the North. It's a small one, and we only have a 72hr stop here before we continue on to Brazil, which will be another 2000nm next week. Napoleon was imprisoned and died on St Helena, and the island is frozen in time as it has no airport and is visited by a ferry/supply ship on a regular basis. We had a calm night sailing with steady winds behind us. We laughed out loud when we caught a fish that was only a little bit larger than our lure! Between that and the Marlin we should be ranging in to the right size next time. Will email again after we arrive, but all is well.
