After two weeks of blundering our way up the east coast with stops at Mossel Bay, Port Elizabeth, East London and Durban, we finally find ourselves at the Tuzi Gazi marina in Richards Bay. Not a bad place but the humididty is murder on those that are used to more moderate climates like Cape Town.

We will be here for the next two weeks or so as we prepare the boat for the final push through to Mozambique. Our destination is Bazaruto Island where will probably spend the next couple of months.

The trip up was largely uneventful with some decent winds of around forty five knots off Mossel Bay and PE. For the most part we burnt a shit load of diesel. In something like 30 trips up and down this coast I have never seen the sea as flat as it was for such extended periods - there is definately something more than a rumor to this climate change thing.

I have included some photos that we took along the way - they are mostly self explanatory, otherwise use your imagination.

Till later
