Arrival at Cape Town

Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope signal the end of our expedition. The ocean is a deep blue wit a compass jelly and our second full moon approaching. The captain writes and signs a message of congratulations on a scroll. In practice I had to forge his writing which was on a piece of paper but he did sign the mural himself after a bit of practice with a rigger brush and dilute acrylic paint. This was a very moving moment for me.
