We Finally Rounded the Bottom of Africa | S5 E27
šØ Join our newsletter: https://sailingwithsix.kit.com/9c29113ead Leaving Knysna was always going to be one of the biggest milestones of our South African adventureā¦ but it didnāt come without a few heart-racing moments. After soaking up our final days exploring the beautiful Knysna Lagoon and sneaking in one last family surf at Victoria Bay, it was finally time to cross the infamous Knysna Heads and continue our journey around the bottom of Africa. With strong winds, breaking waves and a narrow channel between towering cliffs, leaving proved far more challenging than arriving. But the biggest lesson of the passage was still to comeā¦ A simple mistake after dropping our spinnaker saw one of our own lines disappear beneath the boat and wrap itself around the propeller in the middle of the night, forcing Kris into the freezing water to sort it out before we could continue. As we rounded Cape Agulhas, passed the Cape of Good Hope and watched whales escort us toward Cape Town, we were reminded once again that offshore sailing has a way of rewarding patience, preparationā¦ and occasionally humbling you when you least expect it. Finally, after another unforgettable passage, we arrive beneath the towering cliffs of Hout Bayāone of the most spectacular harbours weāve ever sailed into. We hope you enjoy coming along for the adventure! āāāāā āµ Welcome aboard Sailing with Six!
