Then and now.

Walker Bay from De Kelders, 6 months ago in summer:


And this morning, at the start of winter:


And still the wind blows!!

Winter is here!!!

And along with it, comes the wind and the waves:




There's no sense of scale here, but they are about four metres high!!

Tomorrow morning I'm planning on heading out to the other side of the bay to get more pic's like this, and if the wind keeps up, the waves should be bigger!

Down South.

So we (that's the VFR and I again) took a trip down south this morning.


As far as it is possible to go south on the continent of Africa:


Not quite "The Long Way Down" as the Viffer travelled from London in a container, but still, it's a UK registered bike at the bottom of the world ;)

Other than a plaque telling you where you are, and a nice lighthouse, there's not much there; but hey, been there, done that now!

Table Mountain.

I've travelled. Lots. Seen some wonderful places in the world, but this view is still my absolute favourite:

First winter storm!

Our first winter storm has been blowing through from the west/north-west for the past three days, winds peaking around 65km/h, and building up a swell in the Atlantic, so I took my camera down to the coast this afternoon:




Somehow I don't think "Three Summers" is going to sea until the wind changes direction, which will be around October/November...
