It has been an extraordinary time working in the dry dock here in Simon’s Town South Africa for the past eight months. For those involved, the project has been an Odyssey of trials, physically and mentally, filled with a plethora of emotions. There is no doubt that we could only have accomplished our goals without the unbelievable amount of support that was made available to us in the Naval dockyard. Our thanks go out to John Sutherland, Gerald Clark, Rear Admiral Louw, Captain Glen Knox and the South African Navy.
On a regular basis, workers from all over the dry dock; from the riggers and machinists to the crane operators, were only too happy to offer advice and help.
We came to know many fellow workers here and cannot thank them enough for all their help and friendship. We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.
John Sutherland of Armscor gifted a most beautiful plaque to the ship, at a reception for our sponsors.
Thank you once again; your hospitality will never be forgotten..
