Once removed

My cousin’s son got married today. I thought he was about 20, but I might be off by a few years. Other than this news, it was a slow day of some much-needed chilling. During the southern hemisphere winter, the sun starts casting long shadows after 3pm. This is a view from the Ponta Vermelha (Red Point) area of Maputo onto the marina at Clube Naval and the expansive Maputo Bay beyond. This is where the well-heeled of the city moor their boats and other ocean-going craft.

I achieved global fame at last with a quote in the American press referring to our conservation work in northern Mozambique.
