I recognised the name ...Wow, a blast from the past! I recognised the name instantly as I was a devoted teenage reader of your Idler's Column in the Natal Mercury many years ago. And what's more, I hailed from Ladysmith wtmb(in the then Natal Province) and we bumped into each other at various regattas in South Africa.<br /><br />I'll have to catch up on your blog, as well as your other writings, especially your book about your voayage from South Africa to USA.<br /><br />These days I live in Australia, and am currently building a Goat Island Skiff. If you're interested, I'm blogging the construction here: http://oztayls-shesha.blogspot.com/oztaylshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01960808467729487401noreply@blogger.com
