Hi All

Wind here has been variable including head winds.  Normal, I’m sailing into variables.  However wind about 4 pm started to back and slowly increase to 22kts at times. Now 18kts.  Good breeze and on course.  I think I will have favourable wind for next several days. Hope not too light.

1 reef in mainsail (as always) and wee jib.  Good.

At Cape Town I will try to dock at the Royal Cape Yacht Club nice. Usually RCYC organise customs. etc. or tell you where to go.  And sometimes provide driver. Very helpful, especially as it can be very windy in the region. Approaching Cape Town can be dodgy depending on the winds. The geography of the land has a big effect.

Kindest regards

Jon
