Rounding the Points

Woo hoo! We finally made it around the Cape of Good Hope by sea after abandoning our plans for New Year's!

And quite frankly I am glad we waited. The winds were much calmer and we were able to make the entire trip under sail and without using the motor.



 Vince got us out into False Bay.

Vince had this handy app on his phone which showed our position as we rounded Cape Point! This is where two currents from two different oceans converge. There were waves breaking from the east and the west. It is times likes this when an experienced skipper is most appreciated!


A well-deserved sundowner at Cape to Cuba in Kalk Bay.
