I hope the repair work goes smoothly, I’m anxious to hear about the engine, can it be repaired? <br />You all looked great in the pictures, especially you, but you looked like you had a little bit of a ‘Port’ list in the picture with the reporters….lol…<br />Enjoy your ‘downtime’ and try to stay out of the oil and grease.

The GOOD side of this is that you can go right to MDR and not Cabo and then MDR. Bigger and more festive reception here in SO CAL than cute little Cabo... <br /><br />Sail Safe...

Use GoogleEarth, or the the tracking map over on Jesse's website, and zoom in really tight on the Cape Town marina. By comparing the photos from yesterday's arrival with the satellite view, you can pick out EXACTLY which slip Wild Eyes is resting in. By my reckoning, she is in the middle finger-dock next to the Cape Grace Hotel. This is the building at the left on the photo of Abby, Zac, & Laurence standing on the doc. It was kind of fun to figure this out.<br /><br />Steve L from Modesto CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-30026159842232484602010-05-06T07:50:39.919-07:002010-05-06T07:50:39.919-07:00Glad you made it to port safely!
