We showered and went shopping. We prepared for the escaped convict driver but to our surprise a new taxi driver came and he drove nicely while the car moaned and groaned from old age.
We got to the shop and bought a little of a lot.
As we were driving back Rauen saw a tow truck towing another tow truck and says;" That's quite funny!" My dad replies:"You know they drive over pavements, tow trucks and taxi drivers, only difference is that tow trucks are more intimidating."
We all start laughing as he insulted the taxi driver sitting next to him. The driver then says:" Shall I just just pull over and drop you off here?" and my dad says, "no, the turn is just up ahead." We are all laughing now and my mom says:" Wow that was bad Barry." and he suddenly realises what he said and starts laughing with us. My dad turns to the driver and says:"Sorry, not you."
We got home and unpacked the groceries and were just settling down when a man comes along the dock and says:" You must move." My dad says:" When?" and the man answers:"Now."
So we dropped the lines after preparing for an hour to leave.
My mom and I get intensely ill. At about half past 11 the weather is worsening and we decide to turn around. In the morning we anchor in port again and all go to sleep.
20th September
Yesterday Roks, another catamaran, was anchored next to us. At about 8pm we noticed that they had dragged anchor, my dad starts blowing the fog horn but they do not hear. I yell but get no response so we have to drop the dinghy and oar over to them and tell them and as for the long exhausting journey back? Yes we had to oar that too!
21st September
We docked against the wall and I slept. When I woke up I ate food and enjoyed what I had wanted for a long time, Cottage Pie, Roks, the other catamaran, had another Kyle on board. We spoke to t hem and got invited on board which was quite a task walking down the ladder, going across the thin wooden plank and finally climbing aboard.
The conversation was goin well but it suddenly stopped, I said:"Oh it must be 8:30pm" and my mom corrected me and said:"No, it must 8:20pm" Rauen checked and sure enough it was 20 past the hour. When we decided to go home we went back with their dinghy as it was easier.

On Tuesday
we got on a bus my first bus ride. We drove and drove and you won’t believe what
happened...we drove some more. Then we stopped and my mom smoked with my dad, we
ordered pies as we got out the bus was driving again without us. We ran after it
saying: "Wait, stop the bus!" We caught up to it, got on it and it started driving again. We
made it to the next stop the we rushed to the bathroom, we get there and only 2 stalls are
working the rest are out of order and the entire chinese Army is in front of the 2
working stalls. We get to the bus and it is leaving, oh I forgot to mention that Rauen is
sleeping on the bus and is running up and down the bus trying to stop it to let us on. It came back as it was meant to
and we drove to our destination.
We got to my mom’s sisters house slept. Stayed
the next day then left to Richards Bay then went to the border got into our new transport.
We were driven into Mozambique.
I held onto the window the roof and the floor. We got driven into by another car, there
was no damage checking, no swearing, just move along. They take what is in the past
stays in the past way to seriously. We had the wedding, enjoyed our time and drove back. I
spoke to Devon in Richards Bay and the next day drove to my mom’s sister’s house. We stayed the night and here we
are back in East London in the present.
