Hitting the 10 knots and some showers

Today was the first whole day sailing, and it was beautiful! We met up with the Europa and Oosterschelde near Knysna for some pictures under full sail. The afternoon was spend on deck with a workshop on sailing - what courses, what wind direction and what sail handling with what wind. In the Meanwhile we headed down wind along the coast with 7 knots until this night when some clouds started forming and we hit the 10 knots just before the mainsail was lowered to reef it. Now we are sailing at 7 to 8 knots, closing in on Port Elizabeth, but still over 400 miles of Durban.
