Well Dad is on his way. He left yesterday morning around 8am, after quite a nice send-off party laid on by Nandos. I gather his trip went well - he went via Swaziland for a change. He spend last night just north of Maputo at the same place that they stayed last year.
Last night he met up with a family from Sheffield (here in Ballito). They obviously got chatting and when they heard where Dad was headed offered that he stay with them in a house they have very close to where Dad was to spend tonight. Wonderful.
This morning he collected 5 bales of mosquito nets, put them into the boat he is trailing and they all set off. They got to very close to where he was going when the boat trailer broke under the weight of the added bales of mosquito nets. He was lucky - he found a chap who is going to weld it together again this evening.
He says he is in "God's Heaven". He was sounding very excited and, even though he had had a bit of a hicup, things are obviously good. He is to spend the next 3 days diving in much the same area, so there is time to get trailer fixed and also to enjoy himself.
Will keep you posted as I get more info.
