The Cape Point Challenge, sponsored by Men's Health, starts tomorrow morning 22 December 2007 at 05:00 when the first batch of paddlers sets off from Soetwater. They face a 56km route around Cape Point to Fish Hoek via Buffels Bay.

Forecast - weather
Buoyweather, normally a fairly reliable source of weather forecasts says, "Light winds with a slight chop. Moderate long period swell.
Winds: ESE 9 to 12 knots
Seas: SW 7 feet at 13 sec."
So it looks as though we'll have a breeze in our faces for the first 27km to the point, and a hot flat grind after that as the wind dies.
Forecast - results
My predictions are:
- Paul Marais
- Oscar Chalupsky
- Peter Cole
