We slept in a little and left the Sheraton about 11:00hrs. As John was leaving the bell hop told him that he was amazed at the number of people who stopped to photograph the vehicle.


Drove East and stopped at a supermarket to get some fresh supplies then continued on East (100km's) and camped on a very windswept beach.

We had a walk along the beach which was very flat with only a shallow gradient well out to sea. The water and whitecaps were very brown, I assume from the stirred up sand. Further out glimpses of green ocean could be seen.
John dipped his toes into the Atlantic ocean for the first time.

Some guys were using a truck to pull a net in, all we saw was 2 small fish (kept) and 5 drowned crabs (discarded). They took the net in and put it on the truck while leaving an anchor out, with a line on and the other end tied fast to the pole on the dune line

A couple of times in the evening, EC dropped a few inches as the wind swept the sand from around her tyres leaving her on pinnacles of sand that would finally collapse under her weight..
