Walvis Bay (Namibia) > Saint Helena Island

Sean Moody

First ocean crossing on going… Rough start 25-35 with 3 meter rollers coming from the south and a 1.5-2 meter from the ESE. We were down one crew for those three days. He missed the whale discharge. The days got warmer and calmer thru the nine day passage. Wow arrival was stunning. The island contacted us on approach and directed us to a red mooring. Note don’t arrive on a long holiday weekend.😩 We recommend a taxi tour of the island. Our taxi driver had lived on the island since the late 1930’s. The stories and history he shared was amazing. Only one of us climbed Jacobs Ladder in the end Check in: Some walking involved but friendly and helpful. Cruiser Notes: (2019) You will need to exchange currency as all they use is their own. Also outside credit cards are not accepted. So weekend arrival may not be ideal. The mooring field is serviced by a shuttle with limited hours of operation. You will need to “befriend” the shuttle captain to get off hour trips back to the boat. Our experience on local beef at the market… do you have good jaw muscles?
