MFV Geo Searcher Relief Effort on Tristan
Report and photos from Chief Islander James Glass, Lorraine Repetto and Rachel Green
On Monday 19th October 2020, parishioners from both of Tristan's churches (St Joseph's and St Mary's) came together to organise clothing, shoes and toiletries, donated by the community for the crew of the lost MFV Geo Searcher. These will be taken to the relief ship, the SA Agulhas II, when she calls at Tristan later this week to repatriate the two islanders, Rodney and Ian, before continuing back to Cape Town with the rest of the crew. We hope it will not be long until they get to return home to their families.
