Nereida Pulling Into Cape Town

December 7, 2009 – Cape Town, South Africa

Intrepid solo circumnavigator Jeanne Socrates, who set out from the Canaries on October 10 on a planned non-stop circuit of the globe via the five Capes, is being forced to stop in Cape Town, South Africa, to effect repairs to her Najad 380 Nereida. As you'll recall, Socrates lost her first Nereida on a beach in Mexico last summer and had this new Nereida built to her exacting specifications in the following months.

She arrived CT 1600Z on Wednesday 9th December.

Jeanne Socrates, is being forced to stop in Cape Town, South Africa, to effect repairs to her Najad 380 Nereida. ... Socrates had this new Nereida built to her exacting specifications in the following months.

Not quite exacting enough, it would seem.

Wazzup with the boat?

Seems to be problems with her rod kicker and reefing line vanishing inside her boom...according to her web log

She should have bought a Bavaria. How many of those dodgy Swedish jobs does a person have to own before they learn?

Jeanne's an Energiser Bunny. I hope I'll have as much energy as her
