The yacht Explorer
Explorer the yacht Summer days are back. The sun is out, the wind is blowing (unfortunately), and people are heading for the beaches. The Explorer (the yacht in the photo) was anchored a little way off Sea Point, just bobbing in the waves. I thought ...
Do the tourist thing!
Boats Kerry-Anne and I took a ride in a similar boat to this one in Singapore, but to date I haven’t ever taken a ride in one of these Waterfront boats. We always seem to do the fun things in other people’s countries, but I guess we all t...

Garcia D’Avila, a Brazilian warship
If you read yesterday’s post you’ll have gathered that Kerry-Anne and I are away in Bloemfontein (for the Confederations Cup). We decided that it wouldn’t be fair to stockpile photos before we left and subject our readers to them ov...
