Speed Record

17.2 knots the GPS clocked surfing down a wave...it was a hot ride down the breakers and as long as the wind came from behind also quite ok. But last night the wind changed in between 1h from north east to south west. The weather forecast could not tell us if we will get hit by the southerly blaster and we took the chance. Our luck was, that the strong southerly only lasted for 5-6 h and died down by the morning.
At the moment we are motoring with no wind and enjoying the calm. The next southerly is brewing and we hope we have 30 more hours to get to Port Elizabeth.
