So, here we are, 35nm from our final port of call and motoring along at
a steady 5knots with a beautiful full moon and flashes of lightning in
the air.
Although a relatively quick passage, 36 days at seas can normally make
your average joe go insane. It seems as if it was just yesterday that we
stamped out and cleared off from Cape Town and set our gps to our first
waypoint(790nm away). What made the time fly was the fact that there was
never a dull or an awkward moment with the crew and we all got along
very well. From previous experience aboard a boat with conflict between
crew i know how a passage that takes a week, feels like 3 months and a
passage on a boat with a dynamic and happy crew feels like 2 days.
Syncronicity our baby. Has taken us safely half way around the world.
She has been a delight to sail, from doing 3knots to 19.8knots, she just
trucked along.
So that is that.
Enjoy your day today and the rest of your weekend.
