This is Captain Jim McCarthy, and that’s his Sailing Yacht Double Angel 42 – I met him in Durban during his solo round-the-world trip from San Diego and all the way back again. It was just before the pandemic, and his next stop was Port Elizabeth, as it was known then, and then on to Rio de Janeiro. I trust he made it home before he found himself isolated in some little bay somewhere.
And tell him you saw him here by dropping a mail to him at boatrips619@gmail.com

Quick Durban KwaZulu-Natal Fact: Durban’s not known as Surf City for nothing – it’s one of the county’s top surfing spots, so if you’re keen to catch some waves, head on over to Dairy Beach, North Pier, and the Bay of Plenty. Unlike surf hotspots down the Cape coast where full-body wetsuits are required, the warm ocean temperature means surf shorts are in fashion all year round. Durban is also where surf legend – and one of the 10 greatest surfers of all time – Shaun Thomson, was born and bred.
