Alistair Campbell will be missed
Sorry to say we received this email today.
Dear Zululand Yacht Club,
It is with great sadness that this announcement is sent which is of interest to all sailors, local or international.
Alistair Campbell, ZS5MU, passed away Monday, 14th February. He was well-known in the yachting community as a knowledgeable weather guru for the South African waters, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. He took location positions from those yachts checking in and gave weather forecasts as to what weather to expect on a daily basis. He held an annual party for all yachts, locals or foreign, the first weekend in December at his Sugar Plantation in Umzumbe. This past year marked 31 years of faithful service to yachtsmen. He is survived by his wife, Davina Campbell. Email address: davinacamp@mweb.co.za.
Services will be held at St. Anne's Anglican Church in Umzumbe on Friday, 18th February at 10 AM.

Looking forward to 2011
The New Year looks to bring new adventure as we prepare Cape St. James for the journey North. This excerpt from a local hunting magazine was talking about flying in Alaska, but it also applies to sailing.
"The key to long term survivability is to get your mind off the schedule driven time clock we all live in. Today people live by their wrist watch and appointment calendar. In the bush, they die by them. The “I’ve got to get home now” syndrome has killed more passengers’ and pilots than all mechanical malfunctions combined.
The first step in preparations begins before you leave. Make sure the people at home-and work understand you are susceptible to delays beyond your control. Better to miss a business meeting than both the meeting and the rest of your live." Commercial pilot with 20 years on floats, skies and tundra tires. By Michael Lunenschloss
