A well-deserved victory for the Cape Town lad.

Happy new year, beautiful people of 2oceansvibe! There is much to discuss, and discuss we will. But before we do anything in 2006, we should pause and give an applause to the new Mr 2oceansvibe, Andy Fenner.

Andy has a rollercoaster year ahead of him

In a competition which is fought with such vivacity, it is a wonder that anyone makes it out alive. After over 1,000 votes, Andy pipped the scores by only a handful. Competition was tight with some contenders creating their very own marketing campaign, complete with their very own 'campaign managers'. Here we see the kind of stuff that was being touted around the "internet". This, for Andy's closest rival, Anton.

Anton's promotional campaign was not enough

Other punters went so far as to hunt down the TBG and get a picture with the great man - hoping this would boost their status. To no avail, the title belonged to Andy.

Mr 2oceansvibe 2004, Pieter Dixon, was the first to be told of the news. He was contacted in the UK and had this to say: "Please send my congratulations to Andy. I watched him closely during the competition and knew he had it in him. Whether or not he can handle the pressures and spectacle that goes with the title is another story altogether. I'll admit, I am sad to be losing the title, but I'm glad it went to Andy. Good luck, pal".

Along with the prestige of carrying the title (title handshake photograph with Seth Rotherham still to come), Andy will also receive 5 cases of ice cold beer (sponsor to be announced). This, combined with the action he's bound to get should be enough to kick off his new year!

Congratulations Andy, we have the utmost faith in you and know you won't let us down.
