We made it!

 

Enjoying a celebratory drink (or three)

 

One o'clock this afternoon, we pulled up to the international jetty in Richard's Bay after an incredibly fast run once we actually found wind and wow, a current which one friend likened to a runaway southbound train on steroids.  

We clocked up a speed of 15.4 knots over the ground; an impossible speed on a hull which is rated for only 7 knots.  Huge waves followed us in but........we're here and that's the important thing - here in one piece too.

Exhausted as we may be, we're now sitting in a pub celebrating with a glass of beer and a wine, something of which we've been deprived for far too long.  We ran out of tinned food and any form of fresh food so today's special at the local pub, grilled hamburger and chips, went down more than extremely well indeed.

Now to catch up on some desperately needed sleep.
