Durban

This was just a short 100 mile trip, one night, to Durban. Before the sun set we saw big splashes of water, not from waves. Sailing closer we could see whales breaching the surface with half their body, then falling on their sides or backs.

Tough to get a picture in fading sunlight. Silvie wanted to get closer for pictures, Dirk steered away, not wanting to have a whale landing on the boat. Another link with video.



We arrived next morning, had to call port control, had to wait for a ship leaving harbor, it is a narrow entrance for big ships. The pilots are brought to, and taken off, by helicopters.





Checking in.... Need more coffee...
