Yacht Sweet Waters

Arrived in Hout Bay 04h30 this morning. Engine running beautifully and now run in. Did some Fabulous sailing from Danger Point to Cape Point in 12-25 knots from astern with our Bollejan Genoa. Hung around our hull speed of 8,8 knots and even reached 10,4 going down one of those 3, 5 meter swells we had, Messy seas where the Indian ocean meets the Atlantic. Passed the most Southerly part of Africa and crossed into the Atlantic. Dolphins, whales and Albatros en route. More pics will follow.
