Today was an interesting day. Yes, we did the same watches but at different times, it's preparations for examinations for the Canadians, so the schedule is slightly inconsistent. Another intriguing part about this day is that it's the long awaited Miss Concordia. You could see it in the companion way, the boys were being pampered, the make up was daring especially Gustav's.

Some did look a bit horrific like my dear friend Asekho - no offense but he really looked like a mime artist or a crocodile with make up, but he did pay it up by his provocative dancing moves that dazzled the judges and made the deliberation on who will be Miss Concordia a bit difficult. I cannot go on without mentioning Brandon or should I say Belinda his girl's name. We were all honored with princess names, mine was Mona Lisa. Belinda was yet another highlight with his belly dancing and crude shorts that disturbed especially judge Mr. Hurley. As for me, I came on second place with Asekho. I must say I looked fierce all thanks to my German glam squad .

The night was divided in 4 sessions: there was evening wear, interview, bathing suit and talent. I think all of these were fully executed by the girls for the night, considering that none of us had any practice in that field, well except for Mitchel, who stole the show but however I thought they gave it to him because it was a bit personal to him but hey no hard feelings. We ended the night with some high adrenalin sailing maneuvers as we took advantage of the good mood we all were on.

Its now 9 days till home, it' s insanely unbelievable! It all went so fast, it's sad for the amazing people we met, but it won't be the last time we meet and certainly not the last for us the South African team.

It has been a bon voyage - Thank you Cape Windjammers!
