Reunion to South Africa

---

Fairly good sail across - had 12hrs of storms, lightning and strong winds. And, then also had to divert from course and head north up the Mozambique channel to avoid a low pressure system. This added about 350nm to our journey - but at least we were safe. Caught our first Mahi Mahi. Score now Phil 2 Mahi Mahi 2!! Even after loosing 2 and landing 2. Best Fish Ever. So had had lovely sailing weather, even though it was the wrong way!! Our first night out from Reunion Boomerang passed us in the afternoon, and then came back for sundowners as we were motoring and they weren't too far ahead. Then, when Steff and Ben had their baby daughter - Emma Grace, both Boomerang and Imagine joined us for sundowners to celebrate Phil becoming a Grandfather again. Once again we were motoring in the Mozambique Channel. Finally saw the shores of South Africa just before sunset. On the way in Boomerang hit a whale and radioed us to warn us. We were motoring at this stage and didn't see any as we were coming in.
