On the beach in Jacere,Brasil.

Not quite a beach,more a flat sand bank left as the tide recedes but a perfect spot to dry out beteen those tides.I put the idea to Brian Stevens,owner of a boat building yard and river side bar, that given we could all give a hand with the labour to set it up and if he sourced the timber and bolts,we would all use it once then he would left with a facility that would add to what was available on his spot on the river.

There were about eight South African yachts there then,with at least three of those being from the HBYC,it was a great place to be and Brian Stevens was a huge help to us all at the time,Brian is still there,give him my best regards when your visiting.

The South African boats were,Baraka,Sheleco,Pearl, Durban,Dancing Diamond, FBYC,Simonstown,Gipsy Girl, RCYC,Cape Town, Fiddler,Bay Wood,Ocean Cloud, HBYC,Hout Bay. None of these boats planed to meet at Brians place,we just turned up one by one as the days went by!
