So after beaching Moonwalker 3 times we finally got the propellers on! Yeah! It works a treat around the harbor need to try out in the ocean now. Russ reckons it's a bit noisier thanks to the big blades that pass about an 1.5 inch from the hull itself, but it works well and it shouldn't give us any grief while sailing.
We had a little share of dramas and delays since we arrived here on the 13th of October but now we are so very much ready to go! However the last decent weather window happened 2 weeks ago and our friends Ovation and Nero took it and made it to Knysna.
So the waiting game starts, there's been a few false alarms of nice windows forming and closing, but we are feeling good about one coming this coming monday. We hope to make at least to East London. Fingers crossed.
