Timing is right and Bill has created a window of opportunity and is joining John.
Their mission - to go and oversee the dismantling of the "Spirit of Adventure" - a dhow owned by Kingsley Holgate.
Their plan is to leave from Ballito on Saturday 6 September. It takes 5 to 6 days of full travel to get to Nacala. Once there is it estimated that the project will take about 2 weeks. They are joining a team of locals who will do the hard physical work, led by a professional dhow builder who modified the dhow a number of years ago so that Kingsley and his team could travel the east coast of Africa on it.
John and Bill will be project managing the process, detailing each piece and how and where it fits.
The pieces will be loaded into a container, shipped to Durban and then transported up to Pretoria where it will be rebuilt and housed in Kingsley's "Adventure" museum.
Sounds fun? For sure. A time to relax and see another way of living, to meet new people, learn about dhows, and who knows what else.
