More Weather Fronts
30 November 2016 | Inhaca Island, Mozambique

We are still in the Inhaca Island anchorage. The interval between fronts has been too short to attempt to sail to Richards Bay. Last night we had a severe pre-frontal squall with winds peaking in the range of 60 to 70 knots. In the middle of the storm we had a 180 degree wind shift from north to south. One boat dragged at that point and one boat lost its dinghy. We are thankful that we have a well stocked larder since we have not been off the boat since November 5th. Our fresh fruit is down to bananas. We thought these bananas would never ripen but a month later after we bought them in Mayotte they are being gratefully consumed.
Currently we see the next front approaching. South Africans say we are getting more unsettled weather than normal.
