All week long we had hoped to still get the passports for Sakhe and Theo, but unfortunately the passports have still not arrived and their opportunity to be part of Team SA going to Tall Ship's Race in the Baltic Sea has gone. For this year that is.
But Sakhe and Theo please don't be too sad, you have done very well in the whole process and you impressed us so much. We are sure there is another chance to send you to the Tall Ship's Races next year.
So we decided that Bettina, who signed up as a mentor for the trip, will move up to the team as fourth team mate. Bettina will now have a double role in the race as a team member in the watches on board and as a mentor who supports the Europa crew to facilitate the youth exchange activities.
The final Team:
Daphné Jacobs from Ocean View, Sarah-Leigh Enticott from Constantia, Bettina Kabutz from Sea Point and Belinda Mabilwana from Langa.

And to all of you reading this blog: we need still sponsorships so that the team can represent South Africa in an impressive way (team clothes, costumes for the harbour days etc.). So please spread the message! Don't hesitate to contact us (antje@capewindjammers.org) or click here for a quick donate.
