Life as a blog

This site is  being upgraded, so it will be unavailable from 9 a.m. today until Monday morning.

The ride will be bumpy while the new parts are put into place, and information is updated. In addition, the style of the site will also change. We don't put up "under construction" signs, like they used to do in the 1980s, so the upgraded site will start out slowly and build from there.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Thanks for you visit.

See you on the other side.

A couple sailing off the coast of Cape Town narrowly escaped death when a breaching whale landed squarely on their yacht.

The southern right whale, estimated to weigh up to twenty tons, left bits of skin and blubber behind on the destroyed boat before sliding back into Table Bay and swimming off.
