Sail Boat bend on the New River is now Big Cat
Country!
  And three of seven are South African
Leopards! Kent from Just Catamarans now calls us
.. "the South African's round the bend" .
Other than ourselves, there is Rob & Nadene on Sea
Wolff II (47ft power cat) and Santie & Goltz on
Searenity (46ft sailing cat). For those from Simonstown,
Searenity is the cat that spent 2009 on Mike's slip at FBYC - Small
World! We have also included David and his
dog Chico on Cimarron into our little community. David's
wife had a very bad fall on the dock last week and is in hospital with a broken
pelvis! There has been a lot of socialising and hanging out
together. Sea Wolff has even put up their pool on the front deck
- What a laugh it is to be sitting in the pool as the superyachts pass
by.
 Rob & Nadene swimming in the
rain!
Santie invited us all around for
a delicious Bobotie (with Mrs Balls chutney!)a few nights ago - and also
invited Di & Will who came down from their home on their dinghy. So much
easier than taking out the car!

Will - always
happy!
All dressed up for dinner
We are getting a few things done to the boat - Mike has
installed a step-up transformer, so that we can safely plug into 110v American
power. What a relief to have the air-con going 24/7 - the heat &
humidity is very oppressive. I am trying to de-clutter and have a big bag
that is going down to The Salvation Army later today. Our plans to go to
Cuba are on hold, as we decide what to do for the rest of the year. Hurricane
season is looming and so we have some pressure.
