Jackson was the first to spot the island. We have arrived in St. Helena!!!  Unfortunately we cannot go on land because port control closes at 4pm and we arrived at about 6pm GMT time (2 hours behind South Africa). We finally caught a fish (a big one I might add), but we were going too fast so we lost it. We are anchored in the harbour having a nice chicken braai and will explore tomorrow.
