On The hard in Knysna

We have been on the hard here in Knysna since last Wednesday afternoon and are slowly getting things done. It’s a bit hard as Russ seem to have to answer the endless questions of yachties as well as the general public that crowds the waterfront area. Moonwalker is quite the attraction here. Brisa comes a close second as people simply cannot believe we are sailing with such a young one. Brisa pleases everyone by screaming in delight at all the attention and by poking her little hands through the draining holes on the deck or peeping through the escape hatch on the hulls to check everyone out and get attention.

Knysna is a lovely place with wonderful people and the yacht club here is one of these rare places where you feel right at home being a sailor or not. Very friendly and helpful to all.

The only problem here is the heads… the entrance to Knysna lagoon is scary at best of times. Russ had no wind or swell but loads of fog which is the very first time we have encountered, ever. Since we have watched the fog engulf the heads and the mountains around it many times bringing that lovely air conditioning feeling to the place. Quite impressive. 

We got a photo of Moonwalker arriving in the Lagoon from Shambala I (Jeff and Christie)

The Carlyons pose for a photo like the many tourists at the port.

Captain and crew. She understands "hold on" and "be careful" and both languages no problem.

Moonwalker at the yard in Knysna at the waterfront area, Russ actually missed the waterfront area on the photo so next one I will get it.
