The edge of the world

Contrary to popular belief aided and abetted by the rumors being spread by Jeremy, I have not fallen off the edge of the world. I am still in Richards Bay finalizing matters prior to departure. The weather up in the channel is still a bit pear shaped and I want no part of blundering about out there with the possibility of a tropical depression popping in to make life interesting.

We are into the final stages of provisioning - my grocery bill is looking like it should get approval from Trevor Manuel! We have managed to get the vast majority of the 'to do' things knocked off of the list, I feel comfortable with the boat now, she is as good as she can be. Any other changes that we make will be purely because we can.

Khanya has a new crew member. Young Ian has been to Bazaruto on board Sarha last year so he makes a welcome addition with is font of 'local' knowledge. Besides he knows where the good fishing spots are - BIG bonus.

For those of you bitching that a blog spot should be filled in on a daily basis, let me remind you that just the fact that this site exists is a feat on par with the first moon landing. Remember how long they took to go the second time? Let the old fart get used to this new technology.

You all have a great day.
