24hours in RSA isn't much, but it's enough to find that it's lovely and cheap, and that there's lots of nice people, but that it's quite a blimmin serious place to reach - you either came the softies route west across the Indian Ocean, like us, or praps one or two hardass sailors may have blown up on a eastabout route.

November is reputedly a good season for tootling round the cape, so that's what i'm doing in the next couple of weeks.

December we're due a YM qualifier in a single shot - 5800 to st martin in the caribbee. PM if you fancy crewing on a transat over twice the length of the ARC, shared costs, likely about $400 plus you get yerown flites, m/f. Actually i mite cheatily stop in St Helena, if I can get the new 188sqm spi down.

Will ask around, Avagoodone.

so those huge seas in the Agooseloose current ? Did you get any pics ?


Welcome back - just in time for the ritual slaughter of reputations, and the efflorescence of forum hibernal navel inspection.

Yeah the horrendous Agulhas current arg, we'll die. EXcept that it was rather nice and sunny flat. Another world sailing myth - ruined.

Whose reputation is gonna get slaughtered? Is it mine (again)? I was gone have a go at showboat, but edited it.

In the absence of better ideas, i am doing a Bah Humbug Transat from early decmeber to carib.

Hi tcm

Are you still in SA at the moment if where are you located. I am in Johannesburg at the mo but will be on my boat in Durban in 2 weeks.

Come say Hi if you are still around and if you need help down the east coast give me a call.

Um, in 2 weeks i’ll be Cape Town. I was thinkin bout going this afternoon. Due to flit back to Yurrup, then back to RSA and off to carib. We don’t mess about on Mo'. Well, yes we do, but whilst sailing along at the same time...

We shoot, we score.

One down, one to go, he will be out by a lillypond under the shade of an old oak tree, walking his bulldog. Sooner or later his kettle will boil and he will be back on internet!
