Drama upon Drama

Just returned from Capetown and Mozambique with Rose. The hotel Victoria and Albert in Capetown was lovely. Whilst there we took a cable car to Table Top Mountain, there were strong winds preventing our trip the previous day and when we finally made it to the top, we only spent 5 minutes there before alarms sounded and we were evacuated from the mountain due again to high winds. We also took a trip to the wine producing area, which was blighted by some girl (no not Rose) throwing up constantly in our mini bus before being sent home, otherwise the rest of the first week was enjoyable.

The second week was at Marlin Lodge on Benguera Island, which was nice and relaxing. Unfortunately my first choice boat and skipper was out of action so I couldn’t do any night fishing etc. the Marlin Lodge resident boat and crew were very willing but had little knowledge of Shark fishing except as an accidental/annoying bi-catch while fishing for Marlin, so I ended up training them in the finer art of ruby-dubby etc.
We did three days together and although we didn’t break any records we had reasonable results.
