News from Kwela seems to be taking a very familiar pattern. There is wind, sailing is good, spirits are high – there is no wind, sailing is bad, spirits are low. Every now and again we have a change – a storm or an island with the former occurring more frequently than the latter.
Once the ladies had reached St Paul, a decision was made in the interest of safety to not try and go into the sunken inlet as there was not enough information on its depth and coast structure. Lo and behold, the wind decided to play games with them and for 30 hours they bobbed around on the ocean in site of the island (2 minutes away). The wind eventually picked up and they managed to maintain an average speed of 5 knots for the next 18 hours.
Lee told me that she has sent an email which contains an update for her blog. I have been patiently waiting in expectation for this to arrive in my inbox. Obviously would be wonderful to actually be able to once again read her thoughts and experiences instead of my interpretation of this journey and there adventure. In the interest of just letting everyone know what is happening, I will continue to wait but have decided to just give everyone the news that I have – as little as it is.
