28 December 2021 - Plettenberg Bay; Day 6
We have really chilled in the first week and had an enjoyable Christmas with family and friends. The 28th is the annual Trans Agulhas Rubber Duck race and it starts from Hoby Beach near the Beacon Isle Hotel.
My son and I were on the beach for the uneventful start - uneventful, as the sea was really flat which was good for racing, but no challenge launching and landing for the many teams. The start is Le Man's style

Planes flew overhead to watch and follow the race
