Power back online - ALL systems go!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

You will all be pleased to know that we are back in business. The green line should be moving on your tracker shortly.

Thanks to some good work from our 3 onboard mechanics and a superb ground crew, we have a beautifully purring engine, and a voltmeter which once again reads 14volts. Feel free to give three cheers aloud, and have a celebratory beverage. We shared a dark orange Lindt chocolate in celebration!

However, we want to remain prudent on the power issues for now, so until this baby has run at least another two or three times, the email updates will be limited. I can tell you that as soon as we have wiped the grease off these boys’ faces that the Speedos will be out in no time at all!

Keep watching that tracker! Only 28 degrees to go!

PS - If anyone speaks to Gerry and the boys on "City of Cape Town", tell them the kids from Carletonville are on their way and catching them fast!
