Cape Town - Catchup & Nancy's Birthday - Day 2

(3 videos)
Today was the beginning of a new segment, “Sunny Sands & Chic Strands”, which meant we were in West Africa and then up to Portugal and France before getting to Southampton. Yes, we wore our signature, once a segment, first day Around the World shirts. Since the weather was awful, we decided to change our plans to get up for a dawn hike up Table Mountain and a visit to the Synagogue ("take 2" from the 2023 interruption) and just work on catching up in the port where we finally had some high speed internet and watch the interesting boarding of new passengers. This included our “Private Military Contractors” (aka Freedom Fighters), mercenaries for hire to protect us in West Africa … along with all of their “gear”. We celebrated Nancy’s birthday as they re-boarded today, in Toscana.

We ended the evening with ALL THAT JAZZ with the Vista Show Band and then the Welcome Dance Party: Timeless Tunes with the Jaxtones!!! Off to Walvis Bay, Namibia in 2 days ,720 nautical miles (btw, 1 nautical miles/knot = 1.15 miles and the speed limit in Newport Harbor is 5 mph or 4.3 knots)Read more
