Captain Notty passes the Sentinal

At 11am on saturday there was no breeze in Hout Bay at all but more than enough once we cleared the Chapmans Peak Drive side of the bay and into Chapmans Bay,as the south easter comes off the land and over Long Beach.

Its good that my friend Notty helms us out of Hout Bay and into Chapmans Bay,both places in history of some sort,so is this blog,its number 1500 acording to the counter,so here we are still blogging after all these years,still sailing too,Notty and I have done two South Atlantic crossings together,one each way.


 we did a Rio de Janerio ( ilha grande) to Cape Town (saldahna) return trip on Ocean Planet (tal gal) and a Cape Town to Salvador,Bahia,Brasil on Ocean Cloud (gulliver of knysna) both boats being the Endurance 37 design by Peter Ibold and moulded in Knysna by Knysna Marine (roger clancey).

Notty later did his own voyage and with his wife Sonia and son Dion on their Fortuna 37, Jacana,they went to Brasil,West Indies,Azores,Spain,England and a good few other places too.
