Progress including writing

Things are really starting to come together now. We have the final team all warming up in the locker room, and the ninth truck has arrived.

Actually this is our logo for the trip, and if you look closely you will see the Mudzimi sign.







 Far more importantly the eight trucks that were shipped are on land in Walvis Bay. They are in Mike's yard and I understand that he has been tuning them and making sure that  everything runs right.

The wine that was so carefully packed and shipped from Cape Town arrived yesterday and is safely locked in the tool sections of the trucks. Peter is already in Walvis and the rest of the gang leave over the next four days. Our New York detachment includes Goldie, Jackie, Sel Silver, Jarret Milligan, Henry Riveros, Richard Hodosh and me, with a possible mystery guest. Allan and Roy Chassay are coming in from LA and Sydney respectively, and from Zim we have Andrew Raft. I did some research and watched a few movies about the SAS and the LRDG recently to see if we could emulate them in some way, but I  must admit we have absolutely nothing in common besides a desert. Okay, bring on the sand!
