It's sad to stand down at the pan these days and remember how the folks raced that pan in the howling winds...
Amazing. We knew every person mentioned inthe article. Thanks for the memory.

That damm wind .. me and Robin took one of the rowing boats out one day .. It was so lekker rowing outwards . as kids we had not yet fathomed the concept of if its easy on the outward bound it will be hard on the return .. well we rowed on return and got nowhere .. one pull of oars was negated by the wind .. we took turns and eventually gave up let the wind take us to shore .. abandoned boat and scooted home hoping nobody would remeber who had taken out that particular boat that day ..
And yes John and Lei .. as your message crossed mine .. all those names ringing bells ..
Ah, the Pink Pan ... what an amazing place it was. We spent all our weekends there having a jol while our parents sailed away leaving us kids to wonder freely ... image031
