As the sun was setting over the Buffalo River on Saturday 21 Jaunuary 2017 SV Morrigan set sail for Mossel Bay.  Morrigan had been moored in the Buffalo River in East London South Africa since October 2016.   Dale and Tracy Kallaway had been taking care of her while Arne returned to USA for Christmas and to spend time with his family.
The wind was blowing at about 10 knots and the conditions were favourable to set sail.
