34:57.77S 20:01.02E Carango rounded the Southern Cape of South Africa at 18.15 local time [16.15 GMT/UTC] om Wednesday 30th November 2106. The Cape of Good Hope is actually some miles further North and West and close to Cape Town. It is a fairly awe inspiring spot but was quote tame when we were there - luckily. We rounded this Southern Cape in 15 its of SW wind and a magnetic variation of 26 degrees West at slack current which changed to a favourable current as we were South abeam the cape. More luck than judgement I might add! As we approached Mark did his laundry ![]() Willie very generously popped a bottle of Champagne ![]() ![]() ![]() |
