Dit wil lyk na Donderdag aand in Kaapstad, maar iemand se dat dit is nog nie verby "untill the fat lady sings". Vir ons hang dit af hoe hard die suid oos ons more gaan karnuffel.

Kommentaar oor visvangs was voorheen maar skraps aangesien dit n teer saak was. In kort het ons omtrent al 7spinners verloor (tot die laaste een ook) en John, die Valie, maak toe maar n Vaaldam-spinner met die stukkies wat oor is, en ja, wonder werke gebeur nog elke dag, en daar vang hy n tunatjie gister wat vanmiddag te heerlik voorgesit is met smash.

Groete.
Pierre.

Hello!

For lunch we had our first fresh fish of the trip, fried with a crumbed layer by our chef Pierre - wonderful! Wanted to try sushi, but gave that a skip. I'm on the watch at the moment and then I thought either the chartplotter is going crazy or I am. It showed the boat doing 360s at a speed of 16 knots! Maybe my head was just spinning. But the sun is still behind us so we must be heading in a easterly direction.

It looks like we will be making landfall on Friday the latest or maybe even Thursday if everything goes well... wait... another fish is being pulled in...

Okay so no one wants to mention it so I will..Yep fish has been caught. The first fish on the trip. By the Vaallie from Jhb .When all had given up any hope, the Vaallie riggered up a lure and brought one home. So there. It took a Vaaalie from JHB to show the Capetonians how to catch a fish.OHH Damm I hear the words "Keel haul" from the fore deck. :-)

Regards to all. Bye-Bye.
