An emotional day, saying goodbye to one’s loved ones. Last night supper with Ian, Hamish, Lucy, Ants, and Erin, very nice. This morning breakfast at the Cape Grace with Dad, Hamish, Lucy, Des, Suzie, Ollie, and Ian Slatem; it is a tradition of us, the Argonauts, to have breakfast at the Cape Grace before doing an Atlantic crossing. Sailing today went alright. Unfortunately we went round Robben Island the wrong way contrary to the advice of many. Although it makes logical sense that the best side is the windward side of the Island, the leeward Side is in fact better as a result of the surrounding mountains, this meant we had very little wind for hours and hardly moved at all. Goodbye everyone, and Table Mountain.
