Saint James Church

After 5 days of waiting on the boat for Covid tests, we were finally allowed onto the island. The ferryman came to fetch us and it was a bit surreal setting foot onto this remote island in the middle of the Atlantic. We checked in at immigration and headed straight to Anne’s Place for a cold drink. Actually, I’m not sure that I was walking straight - after 19 days on the boat, the island felt very unstable and there was definitely a bit of staggering going on. 😂 There are no ATM’s on the island and we had no cash, but they are happy to open tabs for the yachties. WiFi is very pricey at £3.30 for half an hour, and you can’t seem to make WhatsApp calls. But there is a wonderful relaxed vibe on the island. The locals are all very friendly and wave at you when they drive past. Looking forward to exploring more.Read more
