DELIVERY -Simonstown to Cape Town.

On Team Yolo, everyone takes their turn on getting involved with Deliveries. This time it was Dale, Cath and Shane's turn....(or volunteered) on this occasion it was Shane's birthday, so kudo's to him for giving up his special day. Morning started with Sieger who had volunteered to assist with the lifting getting all to Simonstown... Immediately aboard and casting off lines at around 06h45 with a really great Motor to Cape Point with Glassy flat seas.. and the sun making itself known.. Around Cape Point and a gentle 5-6knots SW with a SW swell, so continued motoring with the Mainsail up.. and cutting in over SW reefs as the conditions allowed... once over the winds picked up a bit, but because of the direction and the worsening sea state the decision was taken to continue to motor sail in order to make good progress... motor sailing as close to the wind as possible. Vulcan and Rockstar were also out with us all rounding Cape Point within minutes of each other.  The clouds were overcast with rain from time to time... Around the Slagkop area the winds increased to 25knots for a short while.. and then gradually started to taper down.. with the last hour in under 6 knots.... with the final good winds coming at Green Point Lighthouse to the harbour.. With Yolo docking at around 4:45pm.. making for quite a long crossing. Aboard were: Dale, Shane and Cath. All went well aboard.
