| While Big Boy languishes in the desert and fixes the truck, we stayed in Swakopmund, a town in the middle of Namibia's coastline.
Swakop means 'bottom excrement' in a local Nama language, but this place is Namibia's top holiday destination. Local people and
South Africans come here to lay on the beach, go sportfishing, or ride the dunes!

| Tandem duneboard: the rear person steers by putting hands in the sand. Jill has always been a backseat driver. |
 |
| We reach speeds over 80 km per hour. |
 |
| Your feet act as rudders when you ride solo. Keep the elbows tucked in! |
 |
| Scorpions were one of the few spectators for our dune boarding. The only other desert denizens are: snakes, beetles, and large white spiders. It's a lovely community. |
