Our first passage

2 June 2012

We went to Duban by boat on our first passage. My dad and brother watched boat or cruiser or tanker ship while I just fell into a dream which I unfortunately can not remember. So I only have a memory of leaving Richards Bay and arriving in Durban. We had a pleasant experience but when we got to the Bluff we got an unpleasant surprise!

The yacht club had an awful smell, like sewers emptying into the water.

On our trip down to Durban our autopilot broke and my dad and Rauen had to hand steer.
We decided it would be better to sail back to Richards Bay and we did that knowing it would be a long day of hand steering.

My Dog died

My dog was poisoned on Saturday. On Sunday he died, I am really sad.
