Rough Seas

Sleep in day! We had brunch at about 10.30am. Mooched around doing this and that. Absolutely dripping hot weather. Handed in some additional paper work to the police so that they could consider giving me permanent residence. While I was at the police station, I saw that the road to the wharf was closed. I went to have a closer look. The sea was very rough, and was washing over the railings on to the road. One of the Saints told me that although the RMS had anchored, the passengers were not allowed to disembark. The waves at the landing steps where they would have to step off the ferry, and on to the quayside, were so rough, they were splashing over the workmen’s heads.

See the anchored RMS in the distance with the little fishing boats and yachts in front.

The usually glass like sea, was pretty churned up at times.
An optometrist has come to the Island for a few months (until end April). She is a lovely lady (Scilla) and attends our church whenever she is on St Helena. I was on stand by for a cancellation, and got an appointment for 5.00 pm. I was reassured that my symptoms were not serious.
