Welcome back! Happy New Year!
Its 2nd Jan and tomorrow we start the next leg
to Brazil via St Helena.
Where the boat is based there are a colony of
South African Fur Seals that inhabit the marina.
They swim around, sunbathe and frequently scare
you witless by leaping out of the water onto the pontoon where you may be
standing.
They have a habit of growling and grunting just
like dogs or bears.
Sadly they occasionally get ligatures around
there next from floating rubbish. Happily the staff of the aquarium next door
come out each day, swim under the boards they are lying on and delicately cut
through the ligature to release them
