Well folks, we are due in James Bay, St Helena, at approximately 4pm UTC today (Sunday 25 November).

Although we are not far from the island, we have a full overcast sky with the occasional rain squall coming through, which makes for only brief glimpses of the chunk of rock through the mist. As we get a bit closer, it will become more visible and the crew will be able to appreciate the island a bit more.

Once we have cleared customs and immigration tomorrow and managed to get Shaun, Shaheda and Terry on a tour of the island, I will try and get some photographs posted into the gallery, which still contains photographs from my last trip to Tahiti. Give it a few days before having a peep!

We are not staying long on the island - two nights and we will be off again.

More on the island in a day or two - regards from Shaheda, Shaun, Terry and myself, John.
