Dear Friends. A very big thank you to all who have shared their blessings and well-wishes on my trip to SA. You guys are simply the best and I am very proud to be a member of this incredible SOS community. Yesterday was a day of mixed feelings for me as I said goodbye to my regular rowing partner (she has accepted a position at a school in Guangzhou) and welcomed my new partner.

Petra (in the boat closest to the camera) has been my regular rowing partner for the last 9 months, whilst Serena (in the tandem with me) and I have partnered up for the future. We have been on the pace from the word go, so all is good.
Everything has been packed and Anna and I will leave for Pudong airport in Shanghai in about five hours' time, where another goodbye awaits me. Oh boy ...
On the flipside again, I am looking forward to seeing my mother, son and my new daughter-in-law and, of course, meet up with
@GrantTyler Grant. I can't wait to see his Victory and Xebec in person and have a cup of Nescafe with him!
