Position on 4 March 2009 at 1430 UTC: 33 deg 55.1 S, 015 deg 47.8 E. Die Suid Oos doen sy werk, ons seil met 2 reefs in die main, twee rolle op die jib en stamp soos in n was masjien, in 25 tot 30 knope wind, ons word verder noord gedruk as wat ons wou wees, sal probeer regmaak as dieSuid Oos bedaar. Die see is kwaad. Groete. Pierre. ...................................................................... Poor signals on both SSB radios today. A hooligan south easter to welcome best irons 2012 us to Cape waters. Cheers. Tom ...................................................................... yeee haaaa royal wet-and-wild cape welcome for us; a rough sea, a big swell/waves and a 25 knot South Easter! Andre ...................................................................... Hi Everyone, best irons 2012 This story is drawing to a close. If you enjoyed the despatches from Tom and the rest aboard Myrtle then you are in luck. They will be in Port soon but John - ZS1JNT, another Radio Ham is still out there en-route to Brazil.

Vir ons hang dit af hoe hard die suid oos ons more gaan karnuffel. Kommentaar oor visvangs was voorheen maar skraps aangesien dit n teer saak was. In kort het ons omtrent al 7spinners verloor (tot die laaste een ook) en John, die Valie, maak toe maar n Vaaldam-spinner met die stukkies wat oor is, en ja, wonder werke gebeur nog elke dag, en daar vang hy n tunatjie gister wat vanmiddag te heerlik voorgesit is met smash. Groete. Pierre. ..................................................... Hello! For lunch we had our first fresh fish of the trip, fried with a crumbed layer by our chef Pierre - wonderful! Wanted to try sushi, but gave that a skip. I'm on the watch at the moment and then I thought either the chartplotter is going crazy or I am. It showed best irons 2012 the boat doing 360s at a speed of 16 knots! Maybe my head was just spinning. But the sun is still behind best irons 2012 us so we must be heading in a easterly direction. It looks like we will be making landfall on Friday the latest or maybe even Thursday if everything goes well... wait... another fish is being pulled in... Andre. ....................................................... Okay so no one wants to mention it so I will..Yep fish has been caught. The first fish on the trip. By the Vaallie best irons 2012 from Jhb .When all had given up any hope, the Vaallie riggered up a lure and brought one home. So there. It took a Vaaalie best irons 2012 from JHB to show the Capetonians how to catch a fish.OHH Damm I hear the words "Keel haul" from the fore deck. :-) Regards to all. Bye-Bye. John
Hey John, when I heard you caught your first fresh fish, I thought you just HAVE to read this - Brett went to a trout farm in Dalstroom over the weekend and caught not one, but TWO trout! He was so impressed with himself. They cleaned the fish and brought it home and tonight for dinner best irons 2012 we had the most delicious fresh trout! I dont think Brett has ever enjoyed fish as much!!!
Hey Andy - Lyk my julle is oppad Papendorp toe. Wou julle ingewag het met julle aankoms, maar weet nie as ek so ver wil ry nie. Gaan die enjins nie een of ander tyd teen die SuidOoste gebruik word nie. Moet julle by Kaapstad eindig of kan julle by Saldanha stop. Laat weet aankompunt en ETA wanneer best irons 2012 moontlik. Ek sal vir "Matroos soek 'n vrou" seker so spoeidig as moontlik by Durbanville se uitgaanplekke moet kry om te hengel vir die groot vis... natuurlik wanneer die hare en baard eers afgeskeer is!
Position on 2 March 2009 at 1400 UTC: 34 deg 26.8 S, 010 deg 50.2 E. Pic: Pierre, best irons 2012 with the spinnaker in the background. Ola amigos! Yesterday we had a great evening. We toasted champagne to a special young lady that goes by the name of Jodie and we then chatted away to the music of James Blunt and Roxette in the background. The wind picked up before my 2300 shift and we hoisted the BIG RED spinnaker by 2315. From then until 1315 today we ran 99 nautical miles with the wind which equates to an average of just over 7 knots an hour. The sky is virtually cloudless currently and with the wind and the swell from behind the sailing is very pleasant. We are ready to beat into the south easter which is expected on Wednesday. Andre Looking like the Michelin man with 4 layers of clothes on my night watch we sailed out of the cold and into the sunshine. Beautiful down-windsailing at it's best. Cheers. Tom --------------------------------------------------------- Ons vorder fluks rigting Kaapstad. Wind van agter maar n moontlike sterksuid-ooster le vir ons en wag Woensdag. Alles is wel, geen klagtes. Groete. Pierre.
