We have a couple of exclusive video clips of Dawid Mocke preparing for the race... As he said, I'll probably never be invited to stay with a paddler again...!
 Race day: Breakfast at the Mockes...
The first shows Daw getting a kindly reminder of what day it is...

In the next shot Dawid & Jamii Hamlin (an eccentric inventor from Cape Town, also competing in the race) preparing race juice...

Finally Daw issues a stern denial that he has anything to do with Jamii's juice...

Weather
It's a chilly day here in Durban (for Durban that is...) and from early this morning we could hear the wind blowing... The forecast shows 13kt here in Durban, 18kt up the coast at Margate - which means that the paddlers should get a hearty 15kt out in the bay with some good runs.
"I'm feeling good," says Dawid, as he sits across the table sucking up some pro-nutro - a special South African breakfast... "Perfectly legal," growls Dawid...
Mental Prep
Seriously, it's a moving sight to watch the Mocke family preparing - not juice the juice and the food - but mentally. Dawid's dad leads the team in prayer; Jasper consumes the last dregs of pro-nutro.
"Come, we've got to get cracking now..."
