Waiting

"Sea Wolff" on the right, in her new mooring at the Cape Grace Marina.
The yacht on the left is the same make of yacht that will be travelling with us in Feb 2010.
The 7 m SSB radio arial goes on soon, thats going to look strange. A normal yacht would have this arial in the mast but as we dont have a mast we need to put up a huge arial. This will enable us to get weather reports and send basic emails while crossing the Atlantic.

We had the amazing experience today of sailing with Dolphins. They swam around the boat and seemed to love being just infront of us. Sadly the sun was not out but the water was beautifully clear. They stayed with us for about 30 minutes, a real treat. We were just off Camps Bay , Cape Town. They are the Long-Beaked Common Dolphins.
