Port St Francis is a small fishing port situated
next to a squid factory, but it has a smart new marina surrounded by holiday
cottages. The marina has only private berths but some of the owners let
them out to visiting yachts. The port is actually only 50 miles from Port
Elizabeth and we only stopped there because it was highly recommended by Sato
off Umineko. Alan, who is currently travelling on Umineko arranged
berths for us. It was a bit of a tight squeeze for Anastasia because the
largest berth was 9 metres wide, which gave us a gap of 25 cm each
side. We managed to fit in, although our fenders were severely squeezed on
each side.
It has been getting continually colder as we move
south down the coast and now we are back in sealion territory. One little
guy spent the day hanging out under Anastasia. They can be quite cute as
long as they don't come onboard.
Andrea went for a run with Corrine and found a
porcupine quill.
