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.

Of all the strange crimes that human beings have legislated out of
nothing, 'blasphemy' is the most amazing--with 'obscenity' and
'indecent exposure' fighting it out for second and third place.

The young have aspirations that never come to pass.
The old have reminiscences of what never happened.

Dean (the lucky sod) also found a French ship lurking in Simon's Town - The
patrol craft Albatros (P681) from Reunion.

I see the SAN brought out the big guns in our fight against the USN.
In the captain's cabin of the submarine, on his desk is the latest
issue of the SAN Navy News. That'll teach him we mean business!

About 2 hours ago (approx. 12:00 SAST aka 10:00 Zulu) all 140 USN members
(of the male persuasion) battened down the hatches, stoked the atomic fire
and whatever else they are in the habit of doing to get their boat moving,
waved goodbye to the Fairest Cape, and departed for home. |
