    Been watching for years, from the start, and this is definitely one of my favorites of your adventures. Wow, wow, wow what stunning views on that hike. A landscape photographer's dream. It so reminds me of hiking my beloved Yosemite National Park, with its towering cliffs, impossibly beautiful vistas and crashing waterfalls. Then topped off by that perfect sail. Sitting there together arm in arm on that sail you both look so happy and alive. Great stuff, a bloody ripper, as the Aussies would say.

You captured it so well, you almost felt like you were there. Good on ya!!!!. Can't wait to see the next one, fair winds, calm seas and all the luck you deserve. 😊👍

You certainly chose your weather window well, 9-11 kts, phew life in the fast lane I'd say. I was only saying to my wife yesterday (24/03/22) I hadn't seen your latest video, then blow me down, up it popped. Thank you.

    You are not stuck there! You have been compelled by nature to take in your surroundings!
    Wow that chain ladder is extreme! After following the two of you for several years and looking forward to every video! This is a video that will stand for me. You explored the area and took
    it all in, that is what travel is all all about. I know because as a pilot have traveled all over the world flying. Did I get to enjoy those places? Not often. There and back was most of the time. So when I did sail my Irwin 45 I made the most of every opportunity when going ashore for a new adventure.
    Be safe guys! 😁🛫

    The opening chapter of _Jock of the Bushveld,_ Sir Percy FitzPatrick, describes the ferocity and power of the storms in that part of the world. It is also imho the greatest dog story ever told. But it does use terms that today would be offensive, but time doesn't move backwards.

    You are diplomats for us. Your tenacity and energy is inspiring. I just hope I can see you enter Cape Town and berth at RCYC.
    There are more treats waiting for you. Like a mountain close to the sea and maybe a vineyard or two and a walk in Newlands forest.

Great hiking, great sailing and a beautiful video as always! Your excellent pasage planning paid off!

    I was so looking forward to seeing Florence break her speed record, I thought she would be screaming down big rollers and we would all be shortening fingernails, but it was largely uneventful, it must have felt strange to be going that speed calmly. That water fall is amazing and I didn't think my computer could take my breath like it did seeing that place on earth
    Beautiful shots of the sea state to come, I can't wait to see Florence in this.
    Love you both.

    Sorry to sound repititious of all the other things the viewers are saying, but your videos are just SOOO good! We are running out of metaphors with which to compliment you! Every aspect of your movie making excels and it just makes us wish you had new videos every other day! So glad you had a good start to your first leg and always good to see you making those good decisions when a situation starts to deteriorate, that add to the enjoyment of your adventure story. As someone who can't speak a coherent sentence, it is so nice to here the British set the continual example of how its done!
