We woke up before the sun today and were collected by Joel in a newish, perfected Ford expedition owned by Derek Macphearson's safari company. The 3 1/2 hour drive was our first experience on air conditioning since we left Dulles Airport. The landscape and details of the mud huts changed as we headed 
east to the lake, but much was the same. Hand dug rows of Maize are everywhere with occasional rows of tobacco in between.
There was no rain on our route this morning - sunny skies and white clouds greeted us. The last 18 Km of the trip as we pulled off the track to Monkey Bay was a washboard dirt dirt road through the a national park. We saw a few baboons peering through the brush.
The receptio
n at Kayak Africa on Cape McClear was comfortable and tastefully decorated. We could hear children playing in the waves and shade of the dockside sitting area. We enjoyed a 1 1/2 hour rest in our travels, expecting the boat at 10:30am. We made it to the island at noon in time to settle in before lunch.
In the evening, we took a cruise around the island in a motor boat with a family from South Africa. We lingered off the coast to take in the beautiful sunset.
