With bad weather threatening we came back on Sunday afternoon. With the NW wind and swell behind us it was plain sailing all the way home. Still no fish!!
This weekend we sailed to Dassen Island north of Cape Town. The trip took 4hrs. Dassen Island is a reserve, it is populated by many birds, rabbits, tortoises and a small collony of Penguins. The weather was perfect.

Not sure if this video clip will work, its the first Whale we saw this year.
A rack has been fitted to the bimini to hold the Tenesol solar panels which should go up next week.
They will provide us with 350 amps per day.
Thats Rob in the bottom of the boat installing the Aqua marine water-maker. The long white tube is the device that 'filters' the salt out of the sea water. If all goes to plan we should get 90 liters of fresh water per hour. It will run every 3 days.
