Sail Ho! As Bark Europa and yacht Madam call at Tristan
Report and photos from Kelly GreenSaturday 26th March 2022 was a relatively busy day at Tristan as two sailing vessels were spotted. The Bark Europa, which is a regular visitor, sailed past the settlement on her way to Cape Town. Alas, Covid precautions prevented her from stopping to land passengers. Fingers crossed for next year. On the same day, the catamaran Madam anchored off the settlement for respite and she waited a couple of days for the southerly wind to pass. Right: Bark Europa sails past the settlement |
