The Sunrise Over Africa

This was the first sight of Africa. Table Mountain can be seen in the distance. You can see how choppy the water was because of the fierce winds that day. We were not allowed to land for some 14 hours until the winds died down. Unfortunately, this meant that Archbishop Desmond Tutu could not board the ship to talk to us, and I could not go to visit an African township. Oh well, it wasn't meant to be, I guess.
