The South African Coast

We often sail along the South African coast. As one has to try to avoid the north-to-south Mozambique/Agullhas current, we sail close to the land, and are often surprised by the raw beautiness of our coast. SABC recently showed the documentary 'Shoreline' (www.shorelinesa.co.za) and I believe that it is probably the best documentary ever made in South Africa. The DVD and book will be available in the near future. Watch the promo video here:

Back in Cape Town...

What better way to celebrate being back home, than to join Cape Town's favorite band Goldfish on the roof of a 5-star hotel. Stunning weather, beautiful people and a 'cool' vibe. For those who don't know Goldfish (www.goldfishlive.com); check this:

Degrad des Cannes, French Guyana

After beating for 9 days we finally arrived in French Guyana. It was a frustrating leg of the delivery, as of course, the wind was mostly against us. We’re trying to head SE and the wind at this time of year is mostly ESE – SE!

The boat is sailing well despite the conditions – it was worth coming out of the water in Trinidad especially for the anti-fouling!

French Guyana, what can I say except that I hadn’t even heard of the place before. Cayenne is the capital, but the river has silted up and so it is no longer on the water. The ‘marina’ is up another river at a place called Degrad des Cannes. I say place, but actually there is absolutely nothing here. The marina is in a bad state of repair and there is even a notice of closure if certain boat owners do not pay their fees…

We had to hire a car to get anything done. There is no fuel jetty here and so we had to make a couple of runs with our jerry cans to the nearest garage, about 5km away. The nearest shop or supermarket is at least 8 km away on the road to Cayenne…

Cayenne itself is quite a beautiful town in a run down kind of way, and with the country being French, everything is here and available. French baguettes, French cheese and wine at a reasonable price – what more do you need??

We’re just about done here and ready to leave again tomorrow – next stop, Fortaleza!
