[status] A strong circular weather system developed along our path. We had
optimistically hoped to outrun it, but realistically decided we should bail
and we put into Port Elizabeth along with the other three boats traveling
with us. On arrival (Monday morning) in a 35 knot gale we questioned our
decision! PE sets the bar at a new low for derelict marinas. It's all part
of the sad state of affairs in South Africa and a recent government

[weather] SE wind 19 knts, sea 2.1 meters from the south, SOG 6.8 knots,
COG 270T, 10% cloud, bar 1013

[status] Great day sailing!  The sea got bigger, but it became more
organized and less steep (now, 9 or 10 seconds), so it is much more
comfortable on board.  Got in some good naps today.  Wind is starting to
decrease and become more ESE, so we will likely fall below our rumb
line.  Oh no, what will Tony, Mr. Rumb Line, do?
