Tried to send the mail last night and disaster,
as I tuned the SSB radio it blew the Auto pilot
(the machine the steers the boat on a preset course).
The boat turned side-on to the swell and we rocked severely.
The men were up on deck immediately to straighten
the boat..thank heavens they got the auto-pilot
working again. Rob just removed the fuse and
reinserted it and it was working. It would have been
horrid to steer manually as the wind had given a good chop.
This morning we had flat seas with mist. We were greeted by
hundreds of Seals and some Dolphins near Walvis Bay.
It was good to go on land and we had a great chap from
the Yacht club, Ari, take us to Customs and a car hire company.
Rob saw a butcher and we were in buying Biltong! After a
burger with great slap chips we returned to the boat.
Tomorrow we look for Diesel.
