[status] All is well aboard the good ship Slip Away. Had a few hours of
fantastic sailing early yesterday evening with 25 knots of wind from our
stern, flat seas, and great current. Slip Away's speed over ground (SOG)
reached 11 knots! Then, at about 10 pm, it was like King Neptune turned
the washing machine on the "agitator" cycle, making it virtually impossible
to get any sleep. Ugh! This lasted for about 8 hours - not unsafe, but
very uncomfortable. The "Wild Coast" lives up to its reputation! This
morning, the wind died down so we're motor-sailing, seas are much better
and we're taking turns napping. We are making good progress and expect to
reach Port Elizabeth by tomorrow afternoon.
