Course, Sunday: I am sailing through a bay full of blue sharks, can you imagine that? It is their breeding area. There are lots of seals on which the sharks feed in the bay … once, I tore out a news article presenting the image of a marina I am about to sail into at night or tomorrow morning – the photos were taken from the sea level: the sharks were everywhere, one next to another, sometimes larger than the yachts in the bay… I remember telling myself – I will never go there… and yet, I am here… totally scared. I saw something on the water but I keep reassuring myself that it was a dolphin who was eating that seal… or that my eyes were so tired, confusing my mind, and in reality there was nothing there…
You can go and try cage diving with those creatures in Mossel Bay… but I’m thinking I’ll skip the opportunity… Just a little chicken sailing around the world… 
