With
the last yacht departed today the World ARC 2019-20 has officially left
Namibia.
The
optional stopover in Walvis Bay has been greatly appreciated, participants
enjoyed the area, went on tours in the desert with quad bikes and 4x4, rented
cars and explored the area: Dune7 the highest dune in the world, the Flamingo
Lagoon and Swakopmund a typical German Town only 20 min north of Walvis Bay.
The
fleet anchored just in front of the Walvis Bay Yacht Club, Theo, the Commodore,
Danel the secretary and the whole staff have been very welcoming and helpful. On
Thursday participants gathered together for a sundowner and a dinner at the YC
restaurant, during the sundowner skippers exchanged burgees with the Commodore
and donated a World ARC poster and a flag signed by all participants to thank
Walvis Bay Yacht Club for the great hospitality.
Meanwhile
in Saint Helena, the first World ARC yachts have arrived, with few more
expected during the week, and the last World ARC yachts still in Cape Town will
be leaving during the next days.
