I have just read (on Facebook) that HRH Princess Anne visited Simon's Town on 18th April 2012.

And watched a local sailing school make idiots of themselves.

..en 'n mens mag nooit jou naam gat maak voor die Enghelse nie, né ....!

I briefly saw the picture of the capsized boat on the front of a paper at the checkout today - but did not read it.

Cronies tell me the navy band was out to welcome her and she had to shake the usual hands of the usual suspects.

erm...because they capsized, doesnt not mean they're idiots.
The wind has been strong in the bay this week, its not eay keeping those boats well trimmed.
Thats all part of sailing..
I use to be part of that sailing school.

Big ups to them for facing the south easter!

Suggest you parse the difference between "making idiots of themselves" and "they're idiots".

Admiral Louw certainly has quite a collection of medals / decorations!
