Etosha is recovering from a close encounter with a freighter - info is sketchy, but sounds like Bob & the boat are fine & continuing on. Giggles reports getting his autopliot fixed - quadrant had come loose and he re-bolted it.  Weather is mild but not tropical - highs 65 degrees, overcast, mostly light seas and 8-15 kts wind (from Bravo).  Most boats are broad reaching, trying out the chutes with mixed success...  Radio reception on shore was better this evening than this morning, but still getting pretty marginal.
