I don’t know why people try to avoid this harbour and sail straight to Elizabeth Harbour. East London is a harbour on a river with very friendly people and a family atmosphere. John and Glen are happy to provide any help and information needed. In the yacht club (www.B.R.Y.C.co.za) you can have a proper “family meal” and play some instruments with “locals”. Everybody is extremely kind. I managed to take care of all important things like visiting a sail repairer (thank you Pit for giving me a ride), tanking up, Internet, hot shower, laundry and even receiving a good word… I will think of this harbour as a really nice place, worth recommending. I’m leaving tomorrow. I am not sure yet where I will go because everything depends on the weather.
