All Smiles at Cape Point Coffee Shop

Although a fairly strong South Wester was blowing in False bay, carrying a few showers with it, it did not stop us from heading out to Cape Point.

After a stop at the Seals, the birds nesting in the cliffs and getting airborne we reached the majestic Cape Point.

This was a UCT Zoology holiday workshop group with students from USA, WITS, Rhodes etc. They were on a one way trip departing from Millers Point to Buffels Bay inside the Cape Point reserve. There aim was to explore the rocky shores of Buffels Bay during low tide, examining the various creatures that make their homes in these dynamic and dangerous environments, guided by the esteemed Professor George Branch.

But personally I think they enjoyed the boat more that what was to come. Photographs taken at Cape Point Coffee Shop.

Toyboata vs Zangetsu...Round 1

It almost looks better on the Toyota, but having twins so suits the GEMINI.

End of year run

The end of year brings the TEAM together and there are many ideas thrown around on how to spend your day with the TEAM before you leave and enjoy your own holiday.

The EGS department of UCT decided to spend their end of year party with Conquest Charters. My previous professors, colleagues and their children joined us for a sunset cruise on the Atlantic Ocean.

It started out as a cruise with drinks, snacks and swimming at the relatively warm Clifton Bay and ended up with some high speed jumps and turns. What a way to end the day. Thanks guys again!

The arrival of a German U-Boat

For those of you who have been to see the new stadium, as seen from the Sea Point area, you might also have noticed the commotion in the ocean.

Namely a German U-boat (submarine), a Tug boat and many little worker boats ferrying precious resources to the mother hive.


Here are some close-up pics of a German WWII movie taking place in Cape Town. I am not sure of the details (we only had to carry the all important German Press) but it allowed us to get pretty close to the dangerous submarine, although only a replica I believe.

Also included in this post is the get-away boat! Enjoy.

The Beautiful Engines

I could go into details about the new Honda 225's we have at the back of Zangetsu. But these pictures should give you an idea how awesome they really are.

Lights, Camera, Action

It's been a while but this some of things we've been up to?

Cape Town is a favoured destination for movie makers and a recent German mini-series being shot here saw Zangetsu being required for some all important media shots. The all familiar movie crew, the grips and production agencies bustling around the streets of Cape Town often spill over into the sea.




Here are some photos of a recent media shoot. You might notice that the original Highlander (Christopher Lambert) appears in some of the pictures!
