After a leisurely breakfast on Sunday morning, Barry drove Alison and I along the coast route from East London to Sundays River, Vic & Carol’s “weekend cottage” about 15 miles from Port Elizabeth.
We stopped at Port Alfred and bought some assorted pies for lunch for the whole group. We
arrived at Sundays about 2pm. Meanwhile, Vic & Carol had taken Chris &Linda down to Sundays River Mouth in their boat (a big inflatable dingy with a big enough engine that they can go out to sea), and they all walked on the deserted beach and on the sand dunes. On the way back from the mouth they passed Bernie Hoffman who used to work with Vic and is now retired. Bernie was fishing and subsequently caught a nice sized spotted grunter and 
stopped by Vic’s jetty to display his catch. Vic told Bernie we were having a braai (barbecue) that evening and he was invited on the condition that he brought the fish – the deal was sealed.
We all had a pie lunch and then settled in to watch some serious sport. There was a Formula One Grand Prix followed by the
Springboks playing Samoa in World Cup Rugby and following a great braai, we watched Federer win the US Open Tennis.
