Made it into Luderitz this afternoon after sailing in fog all day. On a mooring. Got cleared in this afternoon. Now to get a data card functioning on my phone, as my normal new arrival goto connection, Google Fi, doesn't work here.

Enroute Namibia Day 2
Noon to noon run day 1 was 143nm. Day 2 was a better showing of 170nm.
Yesterdat daytime and last night was -- how do you say - challenging. The winds decided to pick to mostly a sustained 30-35kts, with a nice section of 35kts gusting to 40kts Had to work through the list of things that never got tested after doing work on them in Cape Town. Pretty safe to say Chris and I are done with cold weather night watches. At least the moon was full, making night sailing a little more palatable. Should be in Luderitz harbor tomorrow morning, Friday.
29*16S,015*11E 015*, 6.3kts

Enroute Luderitz, Namibia
Left Cape Town at about 10:30 today. A bit sad to be leaving such an interesting country and to be seeing our cruising friends standing on the docks.
We motored for a few hours, sailed for a few hours, then motored for a few hours. About 18:00 the wind filled in and we've had a really nice sail since then. It is midnight now, with a full moon and small seas. A little on the cold side, but all and all pleaseant sailing.
