Arrival of the Qingdao

The Qingdao crossed the finish line in Cape Town at 10.16 yesterday morning, in 6th place. The last boat is due in this morning. Happy Days.

How fabulous, you must have been over the moon! I was following on fb and it sure took a long time until finally berthed.
I can imagine how wonderful it must have been when they finally did and you saw Mhairi for the first time.

She must have been exhausted and looking forward to being dry and having a good night's sleep in a proper bed.

Wishing you all wonderful days together now, I just hope the rain stops so that Mhairi can stay dry for a change ;-)

Yay! That is one full boat
