When we left Richards Bay we had a very weak SE wind so had to do a lot of motoring, once in the current it gave us a very comfortable boost. We passed Durban after 12 hours and were happy to be continuing on to East London. Finally after about 24 hours we got about 15 knots of NE wind and with the main & a poled out genoa, we were moving along nicely in about 4 knots of current.
