A yacht called Synchronicity

Ahoy ahoy

At last we are back on track.We departed on Thursday,20 May at about
noon.The sight of Table Mountain growing smaller and smaller,the signals
on our cell phones getting weaker and weaker,a sigh for the family and
friends we leave behind.Ahead of us miles and miles,5 900 nautical
miles,of ocean,islands,mainlands but mostly water,sky,the sun,the
moon,the stars,rainbows,dolphins,whales,fish and live aboard.Time to
really dig deep to control the emotions of heartache,to channel the
trepidation of what lies ahead.On this journey I have Malcolm and
Gareth.You will learn much more about them and how they experience the
big blue.We are taking turns in writing and sincerely hope you will
enjoy it as much as we do.

We wanted to start posting the day we left but there was a problem with
our system.Fortunately not on board and the problem was resolved on
Sunday.No e mail for five weeks means a lot to me,but if that was to be
I would have to accept it.Now it is all systems go.We have logged 533 nm
since leaving Cape Town,averaging 6.6 nm per hour.We also landed two
fish within an hour of letting our lure out,an albacore or yellow tail
and a longfin tuna of about 12 kg.our position @ 21h00 on 23/5 was
27*08'S and 012*46'E.Wind light S.

Take care.
