After a Lovely time in Cape Town we have last left for St Helena,
We had an amazing view as we left of Table Top Mountain in
full sun light, by tea time we had rain squalls and heavy seas
so very rocky rolly, we have the twin head sails up and doing
5/6/7 knots New AIS working as we had a large ship call us up in the middle of
the night and said we were on collision coarse and would we like him
to change his coarse a few degree's, of course we said yes!
Still over cast but rain stopped for now.
18th Jan, 2013 - Lat-30.12 - Long-14.43 - done 287 miles at 10am GMT All Ok, but weather is not was predicted, very blustery & changeable and wind not in our favour yet, very overcast.
Have been taking pills & got watch on so bit better today.
19th Jan, 2013 Lat -27.25S - Long - 12.27 E at 17.00 GMT
done - 494 miles so far - doing 6/7 knots
Still very high waves & rocky rolly motion, still waiting for the
current and the wind to change, so are following the coast at
the moment, at about 150 miles off.
All Ok,
Just like to wish my Auntie June a speedy recovery from her
operation, and hope all went well, Also if anyone has been poorly hope your better soon.
Hope all Ok Love Margaret & Alan - Mum &Dad xxx
