Still in Cape Town

... and will be for awhile. My sleep pattern is so mucked up that I cannot sleep. Longest I've slept is 2 hours and I am really getting punchy and out of whack. BLAH!!

Been running all over town everyday getting stuff for projects on the boat or just general stocking up supplies. It's been hectic. Today I took the day to go into town on my own to visit some more touristy things. Had lunch at Lola's Cafe (the sidewalk cafe that my friend Wendy used to own), visited the Tourism Office, wandered the streets of Cape Town getting to know the city and toured the Castle of Good Hope.

Just had an excellent conversation with another boater here. She and her husband have been living on their boat in the Indian Ocean and environs for 8 years. She knows everything there is to know about cruising in the Indian Ocean. A very informative talk.

Well that is it for now. Not much I know but then, there's not much to tell. Oh, yeah... it is windy and sunny and hot here.
