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!

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.

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.

I am a sailor, born of a nautical tradition passed to me by my father and my Grandfather Alfred. I’ve spent most of life on my passion which is the sea and the vessels which go upon them. I have had many such vessels and now I live on and sail on the sloop WINGS. which I acquired in 1986 with my wife Judy who shared my passion. For ten years we lived on Wings in Seattle and sailed, including racing. Then we left the Pacific Northwest and voyaged across the world, across the seven seas, to faraway places, and made them our own. For thirty-eight years I have lived and loved this life. I still live on Wings, in Mexico, and sail and race often. Judy passed away in June, 2023 and I miss her but you can still join us and sail the seas as we did for all those glorious years.
