The St Helena Yacht Club had a busy time last year and the heightened activity has rolled over to this year. As the pandemic took hold across the world, the word lockdown became a new and regularly used word on everyone s lips.
Yacht crews on the high seas had their own special and serious problems. Some islands in other oceans refused to accept yachts; leaving their crews roaming the wide ocean looking for a safe harbour while fuel and rations reduced to dangerous levels. In St Helena quarantine regulations were enforced but no yacht was turned away.
