Delivery-Simontown to Cape Town -2nd October 2011

With a weather window opening with light winds and no winds forecasted we opted to deliver the boat back to Cape Town during the week. We set off rounding the bullnose just after 8:10am under motor, hoisiting the main as we went. False Bay was very flat with us motoring. We rounded Cape Point where there was some swell and Motor Sailed Northbound passing fishing boats catching fish as we went. At one stage the winds rose to 11 knots for a short while on a beat and then died down to 5 again. We reached the Cape Town Breakwater at approx 4:20 making for quite a quick passage. Aboard were Sieger and Dale. Boat performed well.
