Having decided to move on he trekked onwards down to Lake Malawi pausing overnight on its lush banks. Watching the animals and birds coming to drink in the fading light, lions roaring nearby. Nearly time for them to hunt, an awesome display of their might. Yet seldom messing with the elephants, little chance against their towering height. Moving on come morning following the coast through Mozambique the ocean a pretty sight murmuring waves lapping the coral white sands and forming pools an eel giving him a fright Steadily heading south destination Durham. There to catch a clipper finding its berth tight. Avoiding the bows where caught fast is a ray stinking worse than potato blight. Blown off course, he sees Table mountain towering cast in tropical golden light Impatient now to make up lost time the captain orders full sail and the ship takes flight over the Indian Ocean watching the dolphins cavorting , they arrive at Port Hedland a welcome sight

I have never been on a larger sailing vessel, I think it would be quite the experience.
