Sarah's idea of us arriving in Hout Bay (Thanks Sarah for all these photos)

That's better

Happy to be in calm water again

Ok where you say I must go.

No so sure if we will fit. We did but had to move. It was like putting the sardine

 in the can!

 

Getting a little assistance backing into a very tight mooring

 

James and Gerda (very brave face :)

 

Rob , James and Uncle John Reid 

Well HELL we left Knysna when we got a chance. The calm safe beautiful Lagoon now gone!
Tuesday at 16:00 we sailed through the Heads and arrived at Friday 14:30 Yes almost 3 days what your beamer could have done in about 5 hours

Some Photos

Sailing in PE Bay 
First test photo just to see how the blog works

Knysna

Well it look's like I may have succeeded in creating a Blog. Wow! for me that was almost as difficult as building the boat.
We have had a very busy time in Knysna fixing engine oil leaks, stern gland, auto pilot and generally getting the boat ship shape and ready for the Atlantic. I will post some pics of the boat in the next few days so all can see how we are getting on ..............
