ROUNDING CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

As I gaze directly ahead I see that famous outcrop of land at the southern tip of Africa, The Cape of Good Hope. In about an hour, I expect to round this fabled and too often notorious peninsula and...well...as a sailor one cant help but be humbled, awed...almost deferential, and ..but, on this particular day, a sunny calm day, with this particular sailor on this particular boat....very thankful that as we enter within its shadow, it will allow a peaceful passing.
