News from the fleet
Report back from SV NUNA
We had a rough start. 30 knot winds at the line shredded or J2 into spaghetti. Then we got stuck in the wind shadow outside of Cape Town for a few hours. Our luck quickly changed and we caught the wind heading NW. From sunset to sunrise, we had 25 knots and 2-3m swells at our back. The boat was perpetually surfing. We probably averaged 13 knots on that stretch and regularly hit 15-18 coming down waves. What an incredible feeling to be surfing at top speed, straight into the moonlight!
