Headed for Cape Town

Our long awaited weather window has arrived.  We plan to depart Knysna at 6:30 am Friday morning (local time), about one hour before high tide.  We will be leaving with our fellow cruisers from A Small Nest, Go Beyond, and Tutatis who are all headed for Simonstown in False Bay, but we plan to continue on to Cape Town and expect to be there by mid-day Sunday.

We will pass Cape Agulhas, the southern most point of Africa.  Between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point (the Cape of Good Hope), we will pass the oceanic convergence of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.  That's pretty cool......
