Friday 23rd May 2008 – Pancake Creek to Cape Capricorn


Departed Pancake Creek at 0715 hrs.
SE 20-25 knots.
Breeze at last and with the big swell running we had our best sailing of the trip so far including a top speed of over 13 knots on one ride. The boat handled it all with ease with a full main and jib. We had to tack downwind and arrived at Cape Capricorn at 1300 hrs. We took the dinghy around to Yellow Patch to check the entrance as we hope to stay here on the way home.
Stood on the cabin top to try to ring our friend Jane for her birthday. Eventually got her - standing on a mountain top in South Africa.
