On Sunday the 15th October at midday the yacht CHA-LEE called it at Tristan, on its way to Cape Town South Africa. There wanted diesel fuel, although the weather was deteriorating so the crew (of three South Africans) decided to move to the lee of the island for shelter, as they knew a blow was coming through by the weather forecast. Which the islanders can now obtain from the Internet.
Tourists who travelled up the South Atlantic Ridge on the sailing ship, EUROPA have been telling Tristan Times all about their adventure.
