Hi Guys
Just got back from a 10 day Tiger fishing trip at Cahorra bassa. the trip was great , but leaving Bonzai Bell behind , after only three solo hours on my log ,was very dificult. At least spent some time making some videos on my Go Pro cam. (works Well) . Hope to get some video footage in flight soon.Hopefully back in the air tomorrow morning.

Swannie, 'n lang trip is net 'n klomp kort trips, een na die ander! Pak dit stuk-stuk aan en voor jy weet is jy waar jy wil wees.
Doen deeglike beplanning, praat met enigiemand en almal wat jy teekom en pak dit aan. Jy sal verbaas wees hoeveel vriende julle langs die pad gaan maak!
Die onverwagte weerverandering, wind, meganiese probleme, pap-wiele... is alles deel van die ondervinding.

Life is an adventure, live it!

Ek dog Bonzai bell is nou in die lug. ek het pas my lisensie gekry toe n sak spinnekop my binne in die hospitaal in byt. :(> Toe is my heel eerste trip af FASH toe van die kaarte af. ek het regtig daarna uitgesien om al die manne te ontmoet, maar teleurstellings kom maar van tyd tot tyd oor ons pad. Daar sal weer trips wees. Was gister n tweede keer onder die mes, en hoop ons het die gif nou gewen. Ek mis my gyro geweldig.
Groete
Swannie
