Greetings from scenic Cape Town ;

Just completed an extremely exciting race from Durban to here, a distance of about 900 nautical miles of unpredictable ocean.

Highlights from the voyage:

- Finished second

- Led the race for 2/3 of the leg

- Beat Antiope by 1/2 mile

- Crew member knocked unconscious

- Lost steering in 30 knots wind

- 24 hour run of 270 miles, averaging over 11 knots

- Rounding the Cape of Good Hope

- Breath-taking sunrise over Table Mountain as we approach the finish
