Fishing is an all-around sport - some catch fish ... others imitate them! That's what Christian of Nomad chose to demonstrate!

I had a great skipper for the day - Antoine - all professional and eager to drive our dinghy. It was fun to have him touring us around ... as fast as the engine (4hp only!!!!) would allow. But the two of us got the dinghy flying!

Thanks Antoine, I loved your company!!!

On our way to the winery ... before Marleyne sprained her ankle. Buth then a nice car, a Jaguar, drove past and offered her a lift back to the dinghy - Marleyne had timed her fall perfectly. But it hurt a lot, and 2 weeks later, is still hurting. A momento to remember this summer holiday (?).
Sailing ... holidays?

We had a short break and went sailing for about 9 days. These were hot days on land, and we were pleased to spend the time on the water; temperatures were in the upper 30sC. Given the time frame, we did not travel much in distance, but re-visited some nice spots, and re-visited the wineries in the Prince Edward country. Unfortunately, Marleyne sprained her foot badly, which put a damper on things (and which happened on her way back from a winery ...).

But we had a good time, and eventually, we met up with friends and some very nice people.
