May 27 - Des & Nell

Pos: S13deg18.019min/E048deg10.733min. We departed Crater Bay about 0700 and motored over to see Des & Nell. These ex-pat South Africans are delightful, full of information to share, and ex-cruisers. Their boat, Gambit, is lying in Richards Bay, SA, and we went this morning to get a better understanding of strategy and weather for our crossing to SA, as they have made the crossing 6 (or is it 7?) times. We'd advise all our friends to stop in and see them; it's time well spent and they are wonderful people to befriend.
