SAA II Delivery - Day 22 / 28 April 2012

Hello All

Yesterday afternoon went rather eventless and we took some time to appreciate the Freedom's day celebration, even though at sea most days feel the same and only diffirentiated by what is on the menu, which brings us to tonight....last steak night before Cape Town...Whooww!

This morning we had an amazing occasion to celebrate. Today it is the 50th Birthday of our onboard ETO (Electro Technical Officer) and it was rightly celebrated with a large cake and coffee for all in the mess room. A "A3" size birhtday card was sigend by all, after all it is a really big birthday and it is nice to share it with Vince Kruger here onboard the S.A. Agulhas II on her maiden voyage. I am sure that another celebration will be on the cards once he is home with friends and loved ones.

We are now abeam to the West of Walvisbay by 290 Nautical Miles and this morning edged our course a bit more in towards the coast. We are having a stunning day out at sea with the South Easter now a mere gentle breeze.

Well, I do hope that you are all standing around a Saturday afternoon "braai" with a cold one in hand waiting in anticipation for the rugby to kick off.

All the best.
