Location: 33° 55.1 S, 18° 26.6 E

The Schooner Maggie B tied up to the Royal Cape Yacht Club dock at 1600 on August 23. Our position is 33° 55.1 S, 18° 26.6 E. We went 3903 NM is 22 days, averaging 177 NM per day, or 7.4 knots.
The crew is happy to be ashore, but also rested and fit, and ready to go out and celebrate Lieve’s birthday.
Table Bay lived up to its reputation and we had gusts to 38 knots as we furled sails on approach. The wind was only 30 knots in the RCYC marina.
I’ll have lessons learned and observations tomorrow.
All is well.

We sighted the Cape of Good Hope through the rain clouds right at noon. Now 20 miles out of Cape Town and going hull speed with two reefs in main and fore. Arrival at Royal Cape Yacht Club in three hours. We made it just in time to celebrate Lieve’s birthday!
All is well.
