Wings In Durban

Friday, October 14, 2011

Magic Street


Hit the city,
go down Dadoo,
hang a left after the golden dome,
proceed past Victoria Market until you then arrive at Magic Street.

Spooky place!

Sail to Durban


On some nights you are sailing in pitch black darkness. On this trip, even though the sky was clear, and there were stars out, there was no moon and we could see little of the world beyond our cockpit, illuminated by the dim glow of the B&G displays. We spent our time watching the instruments and listening to the roar of the water past our hull.

Night Instruments
Here we have 29.9 knots of wind and 9.22 knots of boat speed. Too bad our SOG (not shown) is only 7.5! Where is that Agulhas Current?


Nav Station
Down below it is quiet and peaceful despite the excitement on deck.


Durban Harbor
Morning. We're here.


Wings in Durban Marina
We docked in the city.


School Boys on Wharf
And attract lots of attention.


Night Scene

Tanzania Remembered


We finally ran out of our Zanzibar coffee; those were some good drugs. Fortunately Ellen found us some equally good coffee beans in Richards Bay and bought us three bags full. Good for another couple of months. Thanks Ellen.

We also ran across a few more Tanzania images, shown here.
