We've
been here one week and what have we learned? Checking in is easy;
immigration and health visit us in the Small Craft Harbour (you must
come to SCH to check in) and we take a taxi to Customs. There's an
ATM between Dros and Mustang bar and the lady at the cafe near the
ATM will phone for your first cab. Customs allowed us to phone for
the next taxi to take us to the Mall to buy a SIM card.

The
Boardwalk Mall is massive. The supermarkets big, shelves stocked and
a wide range of affordable meat and fresh produce; strawberries,
peaches, apricots, avocados. I was in heaven.
Back
in SCH..at first we were rafted alongside another Amel, but when a
boat was able to move around to Zululand yacht cub we were able to
move to their place on the wall in front of Dros restaurant. With
many fenders and a fender board to keep us off a wall fixed tug size
black rubber buffer and lines tied to the wall mounted rings we were
sweet as. During our stay boats came and rafted on to us. More
visitors than wall space.
I
was busy on the internet researching and booking ,first a flight home
to see my family and friends and then a road trip north to the Blyde
Canyon and Kruger National Park. David was also busy on the internet
ordering boat parts for me to bring back from home. Nothing major
has gone wrong since we left Thailand in January; David's programme
of regular checks and maintenance, kind handling and good fortune has
meant we have have been free to enjoy our sailing.
