Pangaea visits Hout Bay Harbour

Pangaea made a very short over night stop in our harbour a day ago, they arrived at 3am the night before  and from Nambia on the last leg of what was a four year trip.



This is a big sailing boat, at some 115 feet long its as large a yacht as we have seen in Hout Bay, or was Blue Leopard larger I wonder?


A winters day morning brings a welcome visitor.

The boat was built in Brasil, its an alloy construction and made to very high standards, the masts are carbon.


This is a very large dive platform!


Re they sponsers names, the boat is named Pangaea.


The web address is www.mikehorn.com check it out for more info on the boat and where it has been. The boat left quite soon after I took the pictures and went around to the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town Harbour.


The crew had just woken I think, they were friendly and gave me some basic information on the boat, I would have enjoyed talking longer and looking over this boat. The guy in the white tee shirt may well be Mike Horn?



More pictures of the boat will be posted later.
