La Boheme - 21 November - Durban to Capetown



After 2 nights at Durban Marina, we are heading South to Capetown. The weather forecast is good and we are sailing in 4 knots of positive Aghulas current. We have made a record 24 hour run at 257 n. miles. Then suddenly at 18.30 a loud bang... we hit something...panic, the boat is not taking water and there is no visible damage to the boat, the whale is directly behind us. We hope it survived this collision. We read about it and the odds are against it happening but nonetheless we did hit the whale. The latest weather forecast shows SW change coming tonight, if it is bad we will look for shelter in Sebastian Bay. At the moment we are sailing in fog visibility 100m, radar is on and we are on careful watch.
