28 August
Still in Hout Bay (yes SA). Yes we have at least had a bit of fun, and some fantastic weather. Good and BAAAADdddd...Like right now!
We've been hoping for a weather window with at least 3 days of south easterlies to get us going up the coast toward St. Helena. It looked good for the end of this week, but lone behold, not to be. There are now NO SE winds predicted for the next week. And to top it, our stern Gland which is really supposed to stop water coming into the boat, is doing anything but. In fact. the plan is to market it as a high volume water pump. (Anybody need a pump to get water INTO their boat?? Going cheap!)
I have decided to go the Old route with a traditional stuffing box. Hope to get it done in the next few days.
Here are a few photos of life in Cape Town. (not too flip-pen awful)..............
