I'll be away on hols between the 23Aug and 17Sep and most of the time away from the computer/phone/etc...so I won't be able to check updates
Tony...you should do the compilation per boat of all the paperwork and send it to me later

iNdlovu · « **Reply #108 on:** August 20, 2014, 10:35:40 AM »

No problem Pedro, I will put a spreadsheet together for you

iNdlovu · « **Reply #109 on:** August 22, 2014, 06:41:08 AM »

Right......accommodation booked and 50% deposit paid for 12 people, so all is organized in that regard.

You're a star Tony thank you

Will you PM me banking details so that I can pay our money please, I will pay in full not just the 50%

Hammer · « **Reply #111 on:** August 22, 2014, 09:24:58 AM »

Morning Gents

Tony thank you mate, please send me your bank details. Not long to go now, time to start prepping the tackle boys.

High tide for Wednesday 8th is 15:55. I would like to launch and get under way by14:30 which means we will get to Manico by 15:30. Maybe a spot of fishing in the channel on the way over would be in order, we'll have the time.
I was in Maputo last Thursday, just for the day and it took me 6 hours from Nelspruit. Rediculous, maddening, pathetic. The two stop and goes were not the issue, it is the fact that the road is single lane at all these construction points and the bloody ore or phosphate trucks from Phalaborwa travel at about 20 k/h with nowhere to overtake.

You'll be fine coming up from KZN Pete, but Tipo (not Sipho) and myself will have to be at the border by 06:00 at the latest. Of course the problem is then that we will hit the business traffic into Maputo at its worst. We will have to arrange with peterblace to meet somwhere to pick up our docs.
It would be a good idea to get hold of some sardine bait before we leave and then we can ask Pedro and JohnF where we can organize some halfbeaks and carapau.
43 days to go lads.

Thanks Tony, I may go and fetch Seaducer at the end of September and bring her to Boksburg and leave from here

Hammer · « **Reply #114 on:** August 24, 2014, 07:18:26 PM »

Howizit Tony, thanks for the up date buddy. I got your pm and will fix it up.
Pete, if you do that I'll meet you somewhere and we can drive together mate.
Meeting at 6 am is fine with me and we can all do the slow boat to china thing to Maputo together.

I'm so keen I'll even troll a kona just before we get into Maputo

I can't wait boys, it's getting closer

iNdlovu · « **Reply #115 on:** August 24, 2014, 08:14:04 PM »

Howzit Sipho and Pete

It sounds good about you getting Seaducer up to GP and driving down with Mike. The Swazi cops and border gave Paulo a bit of a hard time earlier this year, so at least you will avoid that.
We can meet up either on the highway outside Nelspruit, or at the Wimpy in Komatipoort and convoy through from there after we fill everything up with fuel. Sometimes you get lucky at the border and the officials don't worry about the extra fuel, but I'd rather pay duty on the boat fuel than buying too much dirty fuel in Moz

Prego · « **Reply #117 on:** August 28, 2014, 09:24:25 AM »

6 Hours from Nelspruit to Maputo!!!!

Guys I think I would go though Swazi even if leaving from Jozi at the moment.

The reason we had trouble is because the boat trailers makers plate had not been put back on after the re galvanizing and at the swazi border the issue was because ballie did not have the correct paper work for his vehichle from the bank.
So these issues would of been there at any border post.

There is min traffic through Swazi and Goba and the border is painless if all your paper work is up to date.
Just my 2cents.

Thanks for your 2c mate, it is definitely a route to consider. I'll have to pull out the maps and google it.
