The USS San Juan (SSN-751) will dock in Simon's Town on Wednesday 4 November
2009 at 14:00 (T Wall).
This will be preceeded by two SAN submarines which will dock on Papa Wall at
12h00.

She was supposed to be here on the 24th October. Seen the U-boat in
Cape Town? Movies, sigh.

Stirred myself from my customary torpid languor and went over to
Snoekies to watch the Yankee Imperialist Warmongering death machine
arrive. My God, when them Yanks ring down for dead slow ahead - they
mean dead slow ahead. Took them an hour from Roman rock to the
bullnose. (We timed it). Me and Abdul could have rowed our dinghy
faster than that (even laden with explosives) - except they had
Namacurras swarming all over the thing and any boat that got within a
mile or so was promptly herded off. Didn't stay to watch her
alongside - they had two of the bigger tugs and 2 of the small tugs
around her by then and it was hard to see anything that even looked
vaguely submarinish within the melee. The south easter was roaring
away and her stern kept swinging out - did not think it would be so
affected by the wind To be honest, a very unimpressive sight!
Dean will probably have some good pics - I took a slew but nothing
worth writing home about.
