Hi Hans n Isabelle. Good to hear you are in good shape tho a bit tired and battered. Will you be stopping Durban? There is a keen Wharram community that I can put you in touch with.

Madagascar is a must do stop. Very interesting and great people.

Hi Hans and Isabelle.

Congratulations for your fast crossing.

Sure it's important to KEEP THE LASHINGS TIGHT.

What are your plan for the next years? We plan to pass the Panama canal at the beginning of the next year. Present time we are in La Palma Canaries.
