Nexus - Ships and Squalls



We've seen an increase in shipping traffic as we come closer to Mauritius and Africa, probably many have decided to do the Cape rather than the Gulf due to piracy. Earlier we found them crossing our path but more recently they're coming head on which makes us more alert as they close on us quickly. There is a gale building hundreds of miles south of us and behind us, and thanks to that, our beautiful sunny morning has given way to the sporadic rain squalls and clouds it's throwing up our way. It's still nice sailing though with good winds and good progress, and it gives us something to do underway! We're 530 miles out now with about 2-3 days to go on our passage, so far so good!
