SAILORS RUN AND JEFF GOING BY HIS THIRD CAPE= CAPE LEEUWIN, AUSTRALIA
MY THIRD CAPE AND 2 MORE CAPES TO GO:
Today is a very special day as we sail along in yet another gale, and what makes it so, is we will at last have Cape Leeuwin abeam, our Third Cape of the Five.
Debbie and I would like to put a special shout out to all of our Aussie friends up there in Australia. As we met many wonderful Aussies when we cruised there in 2004-2005, and have met many others in anchorages all over the world. You have a great country Mates!
It’s amazing to think that here we are sailing under the folks from down under.
The next and last two capes are not so far away now, there is East Cape Tasmania just 1400 NM. and West Cape, New Zealand just about 850 NM. beyond that.
24 hr.Run=147 NM.
