Barrie, I'm glad to hear you're a reader of the Shop Manual, seems many folks today want to skip that. And glad your brakes and axle end play are all successfully attended to.

As to coming to Africa, I once contemplated an interesting and somewhat unique Holland America cruise, from Cape Town to Tristan de Cunha, Ascension Island, St. Helena, and then on to the east coast of South America, up the Amazon, and terminating in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. What ultimately turned me off on the idea was the flight times and logistics to SA - I'm a great sailer but a poor flyer. Until recently these islands were served by the last remaining Royal Mail Service line voyage from the UK, and is now replaced by service to Ascencion from Cape Town, to last only until an airstrip is finally completed on Ascencsion, scheduled for 2015, so my time left for such a trip is limited. Ship calls at Tristan de Cunha (the most remote occupied islands in the world) are now limited to just one or two visits a year. But perhaps .... the lure of new and obscure places still beckons.
