Update on 2014 Nomads Closed

At present only 8 boats have entered for the Nomads Closed (+- 25 persons).
Gaffer Dog, Watermark, Tjaila Tyd, Shayo Lo Manzi, Threesome, Chezzy, Kaskazi and Nauti Boy.

The competition is still on.
The full catering and bar to be supplied by Porkys called for a minimum of 50 persons. The committee has, therefore, decided to cancel the catering and bar from Porkys.

“All crews will have to cater for themselves
We will have a “Bring and Braai” on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday nights. So please come and party with us. Shooters will be served.

The entry fee for the comp has been reduced to R500.00 per person. A refund will be given to those who have paid the higher entry fee.  Please complete your entry forms and email me A.S.A.P colin@greensteel.co.za

At present all the chalets at Cape Vidal are fully booked. Only camping is available. I have a spare chalet available if any other boat(s) want to enter the comp.  Please contact me ASAP as I will be requesting a refund shortly.

Ivor Matthee is looking for a ride on any boat short of crew.

In closing, the competition is going to be a success if we all give our best under the circumstances.

Let’s fish and party.
