The 78 day round trip for a four day event
The St Helena Commonwealth Youth Games team have travel problems ahead of the games in the Bahamas in July. No commercial airlines fly to St Helena. There is a boat but it's in for repair over the summer. If they are to compete, the team would have to leave on the 23rd of June. They wouldn't arrive back on home until 11th of September.
Nick Stevens, who is the President of St Helena Commonwealth Games Association says they're trying to find an alternative route to the games.
