    8. Frustrations

    This week’s episode of our podcast is around the theme of Frustrations. I guess we needed to vent some frustrations that have been popping up in the last few weeks, one of them being that we are still stuck in Walvis Bay Namibia.

    7. Expectations versus Reality

    In this week’s episode of our podcast we talk about the difference between the expectations we had about sailing, cruising, yacht clubs and what the reality turns out to be. We also talk a bit about our experiences at Royal Cape Yacht Club, Walvis Bay Yacht Club and our time spent in Hout Bay.

    Dragging anchor… Kay’s version
