Just a quick note to say hi to those of you we've met on the road. We're now in Thies in Senegal and expect to be in The Gambia in a couple of days. Safe travels and keep in touch, Chris and Janyis

Hi Guys,
Right now Ben and I are in Dakar. Looking to find some surf! Any recommendations Gary?
I'm going to give the bike a clean and a service. If anyone has recommendations for a decent mechanic in Dakar then let me know! (I only need the tools, not the mechanic!)

Hey Guys - Where are you staying? I'm camped in the parking lot at Sunugal restaurant. What tools have you got? You're welcome to use whatever I have.
Waves were excellent for a bit, but swell has come down a bit. Wind is from the NE right now, so south side of the peninsula is the go. Excellent advanced waves at Oakham right at that giant mosque left of the coastal highway. Best intermediate/beginning waves I saw were further up the peninsula at a spot called Secrets right in front of a restaurant with a big sign that says Secret (funny, eh? )- they have boards there too. Just head out towards the American embassy/Club Med along the coast and you'll see it.
If the wind slackens some, waves should be good out on N'Gor island - 500 cfa boat ride from N'Gor beach near Sunugal restaurant

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
