JESSICA PASSES CAPE OF GOOD HOPE AND INTO INDIAN OCEAN

24-Feb-2010

Jessica has just marked another milestone and passed South Africa's Cape of Good Hope and sailed out of the Atlantic Ocean and into the Indian Ocean.

The Indian Ocean is delineated from the Atlantic Ocean by the 20° east meridian running south from Cape Agulhas.

"I'm really thrilled to have another Cape down and to be in the Indian Ocean. Next target is Australia," said Jessica. 

Jessica is also expected to pass the 15,000 nautical mile (nm) mark of her journey later this week, having now sailed over 14,750 nm.

The next sector of Jessica's journey will last more than 4,000 nm, in a direct path to Western Australia. 

Jessica will provide  a more detailed report in her blog later today.
