The A100 trimaran ‘Majan’ is now very close from the second Cape of the Indian Ocean 5 Capes Race, Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 miles to go which marks the official finish line of this leg from the Maldives. The crew expects to pass Cape Aguhlas later tonight and should arrive in Cape Town, the second stopover, by tomorrow afternoon. Media man Mark Covell wrote: “Last night was memorable not only for making land fall but for the clear sky and full moon. I filmed Mohsin at the helm using no flash, no fill in light, just lit by the silver moonlight dancing on the sea. Now at daybreak we are about 150 miles from the finish and we are trucking along nicely at 12 knots in bright morning sunshine with a warm 10-knot breeze in our hair. Unlike any other night on this leg we have been mixing with large fishing boats, cruisers and cargo ships. At one time we had as many as 30 vessels in a 20 nm radius. Obviously all this shipping traffic can only mean one thing - we are getting closer to civilization. I think it may be after nightfall when we cross the line off Cape Agulhas later today.”
