Land ahoy!

After four days on the open Atlantic Ocean we had reached the shores of Tristan da Cunha in the afternoon of the 24th.

The sea was still choppy, nevertheless we were all more than hoping to get our feet back on solid ground … However after the captain made radio-contact with the islanders and we heard that it was not possible for them to get out of their port, that hope died quickly … if they could not come out, how would we get in?

So – instead of a shore landing, we now ended up circumnavigating the island – getting the full 360° view of the island. We made the best out of the situation and ended up having Küpplis in the Observation Lounge.
