THIS BEING OUR 5TH AND FINAL CAPE AND NOW I MUST SAY “DEBBIE I’AM COMING HOME” KEEP A LIGHT ON
AS WE CAME IN UNDER THE CAPE,WE WERE ABOUT 8-MILES NORTH OF THE SNARE ISLAND & I COULD ACTUALLY SEE THEM.
THIS BEING THE FIRST LAND I HAVE SEEN SINCE CAPE HORN & I MUST ADMIT ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT SO LARGE THEY WERE GREEN & LOOKED PRETTY INVITING FOR THIS SAILOR IN OFF OF THE “BLUE”.
