Laaaaaaduuuuuuuuumaaaa !!!!!!!!!

From many different sources we gather that the vibe from the WCS is
spectacular and that the country is going crazy blowing vuvuzelas
everywhere.What a positive energy that must be when everyone is
excited,united and we wish Bafana Bafana all the best against Mexico
today.May they play out of their skins today spurred on by wave upon
wave of vuvuzela muti.

One our side of the world we are also in go go go mood,thanks for that
positive comment.Fortaleza is only three days away and in true F1 style
we will do a pitstop only before we are back on track again.Not a second
to waste.Monday morning first light we will enter Fortaleza and be out
in a flash.The currents and the wind has been kind to us,we have loads
of diesel left and are unshaken by the distance left to go and the time
we have to do it in.We are focused,we are fast and we are fortunate to
have your best wishes as well.

For supper last night we had dorado with potato spuds on the menu but no
dorado,our suppliers never turned up.Instead we had rump steak and spuds
which went down rather well.Water temperature has reached 30*C and sea
water showers are now the order of the day,only rinsing with fresh water
from our deck shower.Refreshing,invigorating.Our postition at 04:00 SA
time was 07*32'S/027*56'W and a little over 600 nm from Fortaleza.The
barometer is at 1015,it is new moon or dark moon if you wish.Viva
Bafana,Viva Vuvuzela,Viva South Africa,Viva.

  3. You have probably heard by now,Bafana & Mexico
    drew 1 all. Bafana lead 1 nil for quite awhile before Mexico were able to get the draw.Our side look comfortable and played very well,all credit to Carlos Perreria who picked up a side in tatters and has taken them this far. We woke up this morning and at 6hoo you could hear Vuvuzelas being blown.Town emptied at lunch time.I had volunteered to man our telephones till 4, I was the only one on the 6th floor at 16hoo.I climbed into my car and literally flew home,no traffic. World cup rugby in 95,I believe pales in comparison, we certainly didnt clear the streets then,it proves that Soccer has more support than Rugby.Tonight I think we are going to see celebrations like we havent had in years. Someone who lives near us is letting off fireworks.Madiba's Granddaughter died in a car crash early this morning so he was unable to attend but sent his wishes.

    It is great to see your progress,I hope that the wind and currents continue to be in your favour.

    Totsiens
