As usual, right across to the Brazilian coast, then pick up the
S Atlantic ante-cyclone for a sleigh ride across to the finish -
I hope!

Yeah I'm with Rob... Normally there's a whacking great High
Pressure which sits over St Helena (or thereabouts) and you have
to sail anti-clockwise around it. But with a 4 knot minimum the
high pressure may not be so bad. For the next week the high
pressure is a little south of normal according to wind and could
make approaching Cape Town tricky.
