I have known just now that in your island there is not for me a place where I can leave my boat in a cradle, becouse there is not place. And I know that I will not have so much time to visit enaugh well your island and than escape to somewhere else; I think that the nearest harbour is in Ascension or perhaps in Salvador de Bahia. Somebody can suggest me some other option? Thanks. Giuliano Giuliano Tordini Via G.

Why is it that so many great saloons are near the water? Perhaps it has something to do with the type of people you find near the water. On February 1, my wife, my dog and I move back to my birthplace, Florida. It is cold here in Chicago and I hear the Caribbean calling! For those of you unable to enjoy the warm water and slow lifestyle of the tropics, you can enjoy a great escape reading "A Salty Piece of Land" by Jimmy Buffet, the singer of Margaritaville fame. Pure escapist beach reading! Just what the doctor orders as winter closes in. Once we get settled in we plan to divide our time between Florida/the Caribbean and Southeast Aisa, home to many waterfront bars (Although I seldom drink. I'm not nearly as much fun as I used to be!) So, with no current plans to revisit SH or Ann's Place, I'll have ask those of you who do to raise a glass for me in favor of the good times on some great dry land!

We rarely get snow, let alone 15 inches in one night. Took me 45 minutes to dig the car out this morning and the freeway was a parking lot. Cars off to the side everywhere, drivers just abandoning them and walking home, or to the nearest hotel. Anne's Place is still going strong. We first met Anne in 1987 when we were there in our own yacht, and we met her again earlier this year. She's limping a little, but doing fine. She has guest books going back more than 20 years filled with messages, sketches, and photographs from the 180 or more yachts that stop at the island every year--her place is a veritable Post Office Stone in the sense of the old square riggers. We added our message this time, 19 years after the fact. We didn't want to leave any traces in 1987 because we were smuggling gold. But we felt braver this time.

As it > now stands, is there anyone on the island that flys, or maybe has > an ultra-light aircraft on the island? I am waiting for someone with a sea plane to write about flying to St. Helena. I met no-one with a plane while visiting, and I am unsure what regulation would face a local pilot seeking permission to land. Some of the places that might offer good approach for a small craft are developed, and some of the open areas that might be good landing spots have identified environmental concerns that might raise a barrier to high-speed travel, or motorized vehicles, or the like. Just because an airport will be built in the future, presumably with an environmental mitigation plan, does not mean that individual pilots will necessarily be allowed to make their own way even on the same spot. Just a thought. A sea plane might offer enough range to actually transit to and from the island, not just fly about it once there. And once landed, a sea plane could pretend to be a boat (paying fees for use of the harbor, etc.). This might be a less regulatorily problematic avenue toward getting a plane in operation on the island. I would expect fuel for the trip to preclude significant additional payload, however. Vessels launching their own helicopters don't run into the problem of finding landing places, and British navel vessels may be accustomed to doing what they please where they are not actually near a source of air traffic control. Best regards, Chris Lewis
