Coastal skipper students complete two 60nm coastal passages with Southern Yachting Academy last weekend. Heading west from the Knysna Heads in thick low cloud fog for a few hours through an enchanting sunset, to a late night entry into Mossel Bay Harbour and a few hours rest at berth. The eastbound return next day boasted sightings of humpback whales, 100's of dolphins, seals, penguins and pelagic birds along the way back through the Knysna Heads to the quaint `forgotten port' of Knysna.
