I had the good fortune to visit the wonderful island of St Helena in February 2018. Everything about our arrival was perfect, and after being kindly welcomed by the immigration officials, our passports were stamped, and we eagerly set off on our terrestrial adventure. St Helena was our first sighting of land after two weeks at sea since our departure from Walvis Bay, Namibia. In particular – caring for the people around us and being willing to help whenever someone is in need. Amongst the people of St Helena, we recognised the same community values that are fundamental to ship life. Our lifestyle on board is certainly unique – but it generates a strong community. From the day we set sail from Kristiansand, Norway in August we have been more than ten countries and St Helena was the highlight. We represent roughly twenty nationalities, and every single member of our 81-strong family describes St Helena as one of the places they would want to return to the most. Sørlandet, we really value our time in port and use it to relax, recharge, and connect with our families back home.
