Great! So we are ready to assign you the section properly. :)
To do so I need to know how you would like to be credited in the catalog. It can be your forum name, your real name or anything else. We can also link to a personal web page.
Let me know that and we'll be all set.

Okay! I already have been given a page for another project. Do you need the same name for that?

I just recently came back from a visit to South Africa and found it made me look on the coastline with new eyes and shudder for the sailors. We drove down to the Cape of Good Hope and across some of the SE coast (Port Elizabeth etc). Heavens but the coastline and the wild winds of the west (Atlantic) coast were fierce. No wonder so many lost their lives there - if the waves or the sharks of which there are plenty didn't get them, they were just as likely to wash up on no beach, but a sheer, rocky, very high and to my eyes unclimbable steep wall of cliffs rising straight up. And nothing much on top except wild animals and little water, even supposing they did somehow manage to get up. Sooner them than me.

Your description made me shudder for the sailors indeed! Brave people they were.
Thanks for sharing your impressions!

Section 12 has become orphaned. Any takers?

As this is the last section, a quick turnaround - say, a week or 10 days - would be appreciated! Thanks!

I'll take it, now that I know how to pronounce his name. Bontekoe literally means "colorful cow". :lol:
