DELIVERY-Simonstown to Cape Town Easter Monday.

We departed Simonstown at 07h30.. with a light Southerly., We were expecting around 15 knots later in the day so we were hoping for some nice spinnaker sailing. We motored to Cape Point, At Cape Point the seas were confused and large after the large frontal system over the previous days.. Due to this we headed all the way to Bellows rock before turning due to the large breaks off South West Reefs.. The swells were forecasted at 4 metres. We then motor sailed all the way down the coast line. Some of the crew catching up on sleep or eating. We completed the passage in 9.5 hours. No sailing as there was only wind in the final approach to Cape Town. Aboard were: Leroy, Dennis, Steven and Dale. Boat performed well.
