Race 3 - Day 22 - Rounding the Cape of Good Hope as the fleet bunches up

As the fleet bunches up with only a few hundred miles to go -Dan sums up his feelings on rounding Cape of Good Hope in a email sent from onboard Jamaica

"In my steps of sailing ambitions like passing my Yachtmasters, crossing the Atlantic, crossing the equator, the next one i can add to my list is rounding The Cape of Good Hope!.
The Cape of Good Hope is also known as The Cape of Storms, where as charted on the charts it states Abnormal Waves, Big waves and storm weather.  I was to excited to be experiencing these conditions and loved every minute of surfing down these waves at 20knts. I've also had the pleasure of sea-lions, a fantastic site to see them jump the waves. Land AHOY!!! i can now see South Africa, not long now till Durban, not long for a Shower! lol."
