Hello All
Yesterday we got hammered a bit by the north westerly gale, but luckily it subsided relatively quickly. It was difficult to adjust to a comfortable heading with the seas and mayor swell almost apposing.
We made radar and visual landfall yesterday after many days of not having any land in sight, quite a welcoming event. We are slow steaming along the west coast and abeam to Lambertsbay at the moment heading south.
This morning we woke to what we know at sea as "pea soup", thick fog which even closes in the foremast. One has to think of sailors back in the day without radar...sure they had hair on their teeth.
We even had cell phone signal for a short while last night and this morning. Needless to say everyone grabbed their phones to say a quick "hello" before arrival.
Enjoy the public holiday and all the best.
