Do you see the ship docked off our stern? It is the "Rising Sun" out of George Town, Cayman Islands. It is 453 ft. long and has a crew of 50. Can you imagine how much it costs to be berthed here and maintain that crew on a daily basis? I guess if you have to ask.... It is purported to be for sale for US$200 million and to be owned by Larry Ellison of Oracle.

I love Cape Town harbor. Do you think "Rising Sun" has formal nights and no tipping?

Yes, it was the other couple. I just emailed Marcie and told her that. I was in a very busy state when I got that from Carol and read the details but not who posted it. Ah DUH!
Looking forward to the blog from Chuck and Linda.

I contacted Duncan at Leopard Hills and checked and he said Chuck and Linda were having a great time and had enjoyed some really great sightings.
