They made it

A very relieved sounding Uli called at 21:20 last night to say they had made it across the Rovuma. In true African style the "shipping department" decided to dispense with trivialities like the tide and weighed anchor just after 20:00
The 45 minute crossing turned into an hour and a quarter, due mainly to the 2 stroke engine giving up the ghost on at least 20 times, resulting in feverish activity by the bush mechanics.
Anka was heard on at least one occasion asking "R WE MAD"
We will update this post with pictures as soon as we can upload to the server.

    Following your progress with interest and realise (again), Africa is not for sissies.
