At
anchor
Today we lie at anchor offshore from Cape
Town. The six arrested crew are still languishing ashore waiting
for word from the lawyer as to when they can return to the
ship. Hopefully it will be soon because we miss them.
There has been a navy vessel anchored about
half a mile away keeping a very close eye on the Esperanza
since yesterday evening.

However, it's a beautiful day in the harbour
and it's Sunday, the crew's day off so they're taking it easy,
having a well earned break.
Penny is hoping to go into port some
time today to check over the inflatables. We know that the
Grey Whale was damaged but we're not sure exactly what is
wrong with it.
