Melinka
Yesterday evening we reached Melinka after a nice free sail. A small town on
southern slope of Isla Ascension. I read in the pilot book that it
was named for the wife of the first European inhabitant, Felipe
Westhoff. This happened in the 1850s. We did not go ashore, but watched
the town through binoculars. We saw a shop and a hostel. We will visit these
today, see if you can get a shower in the hostel.
