And so our trip has been postponed!!!

A very unfortunate event last week caused us to have to delay our departure date.

A guy forgot his port bow line on when leaving his berth and swang around into our vessel on our berth... Luckily no damage to the hull or pulpit... Just the pulpit rail that bent badly...

Comes to show how quickly things can go wrong and how important it is to make sure that all is in order before leaving your berth and why having competent crew is so crucial!!!

Busy with the repairs, so soon we will be on our way.

A photo from 3 years ago has surfaced, commemorating our arrival in Bazaruto for the Marlin fishing season on Madness III. The experience was unparalleled. Our journey from Richards Bay to Bazaruto with Graham, Anton, Frans, and Evro was remarkable. Notably, we successfully landed Marlin upon arrival, prior to official clearance. I intend to revisit my footage and produce engaging videos that capture the essence of that remarkable season.
