Hi Jerry. Thanks for your condolences. I’m not sure Stewart appreciated the telegram as he had dementia.. but the rest of the family enjoyed it xx

I’m so sorry to hear about Stewart, but wonderful that you were able to see him in December. He must have been one of the first centenarians to receive a telegram from the new King!

Enjoy the rest of the trip, and looking forward to your next blog,

Jerry xx

Hi Mike
yes I’m relieved to have done the trip.
We should be home by June so see you then, hopefully for a rather more tasty meal

Thanks Gerard
It’s certainly a stunning location and we had hoped to explore more… not sure we’ll get the chance now thanks to Covid ☹️

Thanks Paul
We have yet to see much of Cape Town, with Hugh’s trip to the U.K. and now Covid keeping us confined to the boat. We’ll be returning next year to properly explore!

I am not sure I would want to do the same. I have driven to Cape Town from Durban but not sailed. My sailing was inDurban in a 30 square meter. That meal sounded tasty. You need HP souse with the beans.
Hugh your Dad did well. 100 plus and a letter from the King!
Love. Mike

The most exciting stage turned out ok but what a speed under bare poles. Jil very jealous as she always wanted to go to S A after she had to cancel her ticket in 1967 as newly married we needed all the cash.
