Well, we have been here for 4 weeks and it is time
to move on. We have really enjoyed ourselves and have been absolute Tourists....
We have walked on Table Mountain, visited Robben Island to see where
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years, stopped at Simon's Town to see the
African Penguin colonies at Boulders Bay, driven over to Cape Point to see what
the Cape of Good Hope actually looked like (as it was too misty to make much out
when we went round by Sea) and played Golf at Mowbray Golf
Course which is one of the oldest courses in South Africa.
We also managed to find time to spend a week
staying on a Vinyard about 2 hours drive away for a short holiday
where we tasted much Wine, went Horse riding and played a couple more Golf
Courses.
This was all done amid numerous boat jobs
including hauling out and antifouling plus fitting a new Genoa and
replacing many bits of string (after nearly 50,000 miles, some of our ropes were
looking a bit sad) !!! Also, Roger had to fix the Toilet (twice)........
