Out and about with my awesome regulated mod!

Hi @kev mac
No, i dont live by the ocean, unfortunately
I live in Johannesburg, which is inland
That photo was taken in Cape Town, where I am visiting for a quick business trip
I love the ocean though and there is something very special for me when I just sit for a few minutes near the ocean side. I try do that whenever i go to an ocean city.

As for sharks, I am no expert but I do know that the South African waters host some ginormous sharks. In once visited the Sharks Board in Umhlanga for a whole discussion about sharks and it was quite scary. In my youth I spent many a holiday at Amanzimtoti and loved swimming in the sea for hours and hours. I believe there have been many shark attacks there.
If you live in Rhode Island you are never more than thirty-five mins.from the sea shore. I loved swimming in the waves and even taking a nighttime dip ,then I read JAWS!
 
Much warmer this morning. Chilling with BB.

@kev mac - In Jan 1486 - Portuguese Explorer - Diogo Cao - Planted a Cross at that point on the Skeleton Coast declaring Portuguese territory - nothing happened for 4 Centuries until the Germans arrived and annexed everything - The Original Cross is in Germany somewhere but a few Granite Replicas have been put in it's place since.

And now the seals have taken over :D
 
That is so funny @Christos :risas3: - yes - the frikken stink is really bad around that whole area - ja - but what can one expect when there are over 250k seals there.
From 7 colonies in 2004 to over 23 colonies now!
 
Out and about at the Wild Coast. This was a visitor who visited us on the 5th floor... this females was not shy and was realized even when I went right up to her... she wanted the sugar from the coffee setup.

Wild Coast Sun is not the spot if you want outstanding meals... the buffet breakfast is OK but all other meals are at the Spur!Actually this Spur wasn't bad at all and the service was great!

Day 2 the sun came out and we went for a walk on beach!

Good sunlight so took some shot of BB Blue while on the beach!

The casino robbed me blind... this was one rare occasion that I had an income rather than an outcome!
WildCoast19.jpg

Night two we went in search of good food and Kelsey has this restaurant highly recommended by some of her wine buff mates! And Oh my Word the food was just fantastic! Italian restaurant tucked away in the middle of no-where!

And to finish off an Amaretto Don Pedro!

Yoh, Rob, I know you like the Billet Box a lot because it didnt jump on the plate
Looks awesome!
And the food ;-)
 
And into Lamberts Bay - Average = 19Deg.C

This place has the biggest potato chip making factory I've seen.

Possibly for all the Fish & Chips sold.

The birds smell worse than the seals.

IMG_7711.JPG

Didn't go into the bird area for fear of being "Crapped On"
IMG_7713.JPG

Plenty of Crayfish Traulers - we believe that this is one of the primary ports for Crayfish distribution to SA
IMG_7712.JPG

Then through Elandsbaai
IMG_7714.JPG

Then to Langebaan - kite surfing craze and good food.

And a pleasant 21Deg.C for the remainder of the day - a hell of a lot cooler than all the previous days.
 
Lovely photos @Max - thanks
