This week Coco (and we) made a new friend at the laundromats. Some friends left and some friends arrived. Some of the stuff we ordered online arrived. Frustrations mounted as we scraped endless layers of paint off the rudder. And we got some not so good news regarding our engine.Photos of:Luna, Coco's and our new friendDimi is very excited about his new bicycleEating one of Kay's favourites: pão de queijo

Daily life on St Helena island

We talk about what our week on St Helena island looked like: we went for an (early) night out, celebrated St Helena day and climbed Jacob's Ladder. We bought a little FM radio and tuned in to the two local radio stations. And we talk about what a day looks like for us as we are moored here. Photos of Jacob's Ladder and of St Helena day celebrations. You can tune in online to SAMS radio or Saint FM, the two local community radio stations on the island.As always, please feel free to get in touch with us if you have have any comments, remarks, suggestions, or questions!

We have a Ko-fi page: https://ko-fi.com/svtropicaldawn Though we have never felt comfortable with asking others to finance our cruising life, lately we’ve become quite active as content creators with a blog and a weekly podcast. If people find our content useful and/or entertaining, we now are able to accept tips. #contentcreator #kofi #cruisingLife #svTropicalDawn
