In regard to were to go after Capetown. I think it's not a bad idea to take
the opportunity to visit Brazil. It's a nice down hill run and wonderful
cruising when you get there. Visiting on the way North is easier than doing
it ex Europe or on the way home to OZ.

It's mainly waiting for the right weather window. Make a mistake here or if
you become impatient -
you pay the price.
