Background
The "Cape of Good Hope" route is a wonderful alternative to the Red Sea route for circumnavigators. The passage between Durban and Cape Town has a reputation of being difficult and dangerous but cruisers who are armed with the right information and backed by excellent South African weather forecasting resources the passage can be extremely rewarding. South African yachts sail along this coast all the time, however, timing of the longer passages is important.
