We knew we had somewhat of a following thanks to the dedication of many relatives of various crew but the prize for the most dignified goes to “Uncle John” Godfather, I think, of mark Shuldham aka SINBAD. Well UJ Sinbad has been safely navigated and delivered safe and sound to Cape Town and re-united with his ever adoring and worshipping spouse. They are happily re-united.

We sailed well into Cape Town and were rewarded with a long sighting of a pod of humpback Whales - we think as many as 50 or 60 - they were patrolling and having fun up the coast of Cape Peninsular. We never went close but enjoyed a long and quite spectacular viewing and we count ourselves very lucky for that.

Cape Town is as wonderful as we all expected and Vicky, Cherry and Di all came down to the V & A Marina to welcome us in. This is a mighty milestone in the progress of Carango around the World.
