Today we raced round James Bay, which is in front of the main town, Jamestown! It was great fun even though we didn't do that well. The wind was extremely light and our skipper and co-skipper where fighting which was, well... normal. We had two saints on board, father 40ish and daughter 8ish? The father, whose name I didn't learn, was a reporter for the local radio, so I spent most of the day being interviewed on what's this and that and how does it work. Great fun, I am now a famous person on the island of St. Helena, As Wayne Tucker said, "Great place to make a name for yourself" well I couldn't agree more, the people are so friendly and what a beautiful setting. They should do a James Bond movie on the island. On the left is the boat that crossed the finsh line at the same time as us.
