#oldmanrunning long slow training run for the #TwoOceans half marathon. It was beautiful out there! I felt strong. I am very grateful! I know I am NOT going to win it with this time! Ha ha! But, it feels great to have it in the legs! @totalsportstwooceansmarathon #twooceansmarathon https://www.instagram.com/p/CbjxtMwKnPo/?utm_medium=tumblr
Good Morning Friends Is there anyone with a copy of the Two Oceans Book that is not using it currently and is willing to borrow it to me for only 1 month #TwoOceans🤿 https://www.instagram.com/p/CRGg53sjipf/?utm_medium=tumblr

The ocean-meet marker, Cape Agulhas
road trip, rpt. .
Finally carved out a long weekend to visit old friends in Port Elizabeth. We popped a suitcase into our trusty steed (VW Chico) and set off on the 750-km drive, taking 9 1/2 hours with brief stops and swapping drivers every 2 hours or so. We are getting to know it quite well. The route is fundamentally very simple; get on the N2 in Cape Town, get off it at the signs for Port Elizabeth (Centre). Only one junction to watch out for (near Mossel Bay), where the road splits and the “main” branch suddenly isn’t the N2 any more. Apart from that, and keeping an eye on the fuel gauge -- I never like to travel on less than a half-tank -- a good deal of it consists of enjoying the view, as there is very little traffic away from the few cities en route. The Garden Route, as it is known, is notable for its variety of scenery; from rolling prairie to sweeping sea views, mountain passes with sudden vistas followed by wooded ravines, broad marshy estuaries and native forests (”Feeding Baboons Forbidden! Fine R500″), looming mountains that threaten to push you into the sea, and finally a coastal ribbon where green Surrey seems to have been sprinkled onto the dry Eastern Cape. Over the course of four days we saw everybody we had planned or hoped to see, including the team at Love Story (the charity that feeds and cares for crazy numbers of the most desperately poor) and without exception all were delighted to see us; several exclaiming they “had only been talking about you the other day”. It never ceases to surprise me just how many people have appreciated our friendship, and how much. The church we visit when in PE, Word of Faith, has been going from strength to strength. Particularly remarkable is the growth in their midweek cell groups, which they call Connect groups; they have (I think) 140 of these now, dotted all over the Nelson Mandela Bay metropolitan area, and their medium-term target is to have a group on every street in PE city and its satellites. I reckon that over-used adjective “awesome” is, for once, applicable. And on the way back -- having now passed it four times without seeing it -- we diverted to Cape Agulhas, which if you didn’t know, is actually the southernmost tip of Africa, and the geographically correct location of the meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans (despite what Cape Town tells all the tourists). Angie paddled in both, and her verdict was that neither was warmer than the other; in fact you wouldn’t want to stay in either without a wetsuit. Fair enough -- at Agulhas you have neither the warm East African current nor the South Atlantic cold Benguela current; it’s really all the Great Southern Ocean. In fact, a short way back up the road in Suidpunt, there’s a bar that advertises itself as the “Three Oceans Pub”. Now that’s just greedy.
