Living aboard on Knysna Lagoon
Living aboard on Knysna Lagoon
Last December we sailed through the famous Knysna Heads into the beautiful Knysna Estuary or Lagoon, as it is more commonly known.
Almost a year later, we are still here! We gather this is a common phenomenon with visiting yachtspeople, some of whom never actually leave!
As the South African coastline is not the most, user-friendly coastline for sailing, one has to pick the ...

Las Vegas - desert city of lights and water
I have to confess my dirty little secret - I love Las Vegas! Most people are shocked to discover this because they think Vegas is a cesspool of filth and everything dodgy.
Yes, there is the seedy part of Las Vegas with all the crazy groups of bachelor/ette party-goers, strippers and call girls (which by the way is illegal), but there is also the wife/girlfriend-friendly part of Vegas that I love. The pl ...

Laudiology - Here is the Answer
Damn! I was in Amsterdam to perform at a boat party and all I could hear was people questioning me about Die Antwoord. This reminded me of Mujava before Township Funk came out in Europe. And I can tell you, this buzz is bigger!
