I flew home from Port Kembla, Australia on 6 December to Cape Town, South Africa for some hard-earned leave. My tour of duty was a bit longer than usual, just less than six months, so the break was welcome. It also gave me some key dates at home! First-off was a three day sail on a friends catamaran helping prepare for the Cape to Rio de Janeiro Yacht Race. Then came Christmas, the usual family "do", followed by my younger daughter's Sixteenth Birthday Bash on Clifton beach and the Great Millennium Roll-over. Cape Town went wild!! My wife's Birthday and our Wedding Anniversary have come and gone but the Big One was my older daughter's 21st Birthday at Leesia's Greek Restaurant at the end of January. Leesia's is still in one piece but only just!
