Today we sail on a southwesterly course following the southeast coast of South Africa passing the cities of East London and Port Elizabeth. After passing Cape St. Francis we alter our course more to the west. On this westerly course we will pass Cape Agulhas (or Cape of Needles) which is the southernmost tip of the African Continent and divides the Indian and Atlantic oceans in geographical terms. From Durban and until tonight we sail in the Agulhas current which flows southwest with an average speed of 2 knots, helping us on our way to Cape Town.
