The Captain and Crew decided to head for South-Africa and ended up in Durban. The ship was later sold to the Mayor of Knysna, she continued sailing and exploring the Meditereanean Seas before returning home against currents and trade winds. Rika and Kevin Fouche purchased her in 2019 and she sinced sail the “golden- mile” exploring the Knysna Estuary and majestic Headlands.
