It is that Visa moment when you realise that the road you are on is such a good road not because of the good maintenance , but because no one is using it and if something happens you can be in a big heap of trouble ! Then you realise that watching Bear Grill was a good idea and you may be asked to start a fire without matches. That moment you realise that the phone a friend option is not an option as there is no sell phone reception. That moment that you realise that your own ingenuity , experience and the stuff you have with you will have to suffice to get you out of the twang.
I remembered one quote from my skipper training - no- one forced you to leave the Harbour You decided yourself .. so man up and take it on the chin and work a plan .
That first photo was just after I went through this discussion in my mind .
As my wife said that is not trouble just another story you add to your life. One day when we all sit on the stoep with our kieries I want to talk about what I have done not what I wanted to do .
Probably my worst trait is assuming that things will go right... but probably my best trait!!
I am planning to do the 2014 Cape to Rio race and one though that crossed my mind was that this was one of the introductions I needed to that feeling that you are on your own and you have to get yourself out. On the Ocean there is no hiding place . I must also say I do beleave in planning and prep - that is what saves your ASS.
