Great White Shark Diving

Baiting for Great Whites
Geared up and ready for action

Shark!!!






Yes, this is the inside of a Great White Shark's mouth.  My hand was there only seconds before.  This is why there's a cage.

South Africa Continued...

The National Zulu-land Dance Competition... we always thought 'the worm' was a break dancing move, apparently it's Zulu



Apart from one unpleasant night motoring into the wind and waves, we had a great sail around the Cape - calm seas, good current, lots of whales and even a baby hammerhead shark!

Sailing to South Africa

Slightly out of order... this was the roughest weather we had on the entire trip (thank God!)
Remember, the conditions in the pictures always look much more benign than they feel on the boat.






South Africa Safari

The results of the (unofficial) Indian Ocean Beard Growing Contest - some wild, harry animals for sure!

We rented a car for a 2 day, do-it-yourself Safari and had a blast!

















We break for Dung Beatles.






The intrepid Safari-ers!


The park we went to was known for its Rhinos... we lost track after 38!
(It's funny when you catch yourself saying, "Oh, just another Rhino. Keep going.")

New Caledonia

New Caledonia's all out of order. Really it's before Australia.
