I’m a sailor from Point Yacht Club. Sailed hobbies and windsurfers in my teens and 20’s then I moved into the air sports like skydiving and hang gliding. I’m an avid hiker and done much of our Drakensberg. Have been to base camp in Nepal too. I started sailing in Dec 2019 after doing a paddle in 2-man Kayak around Maurituis with Les Willows from Willow adventures. This is where I saw people sailing keelboats an Cats in all the little coves. 2020 I started sailing keelboats.

Late afternoon/ night training for Vasco 24. We sailed to Umdloti and back to get some night experience for our new sailors who haven’t sailed at night. Wind dropped off and was a lively starry night around the ships anchored at Umhlanga.

Was a great attempt. With engine failure and no wind off Sodwana bay, we drifted back with current at about 3 kts. After 12 hrs decided to call it and return to RHB to fix the engine. After St Lucia we picked up the NE again and sailed into RHB. Navigation done on paper charts and not instruments.

Absolutely flat conditions, Partly cloudy and hot. Wind 6-8 knots SE. Wonderful morning out with Sheri, Belle, Kier and Peterson. Did a few tacks a few gybes. Bobbed around down to New pier and back.
