Hi RadioZ - Want to apologise for the reply on your post - I had totally misunderstood the departure to be from Cape Town (a place called Stanford) and took your Cape Cod experience to be a sketch of your history of sailing. Anyway, it seems I got it all wrong and upset some folks after trying to put in a good share thinking you were leaving Cape Town and crossing the Atlantic. We just lost 3 friends on a capsized Cat so are probably 'preaching' caution at a premium - very sad set of events and clearly they did not get to the ships onboard Epirb in time. Anyway - wishing you a pleasant sail ... my best - Brent
