Looks like we in for some big seas in the coming days! Take care if you have to go to sea.

Done it on V Day

Hout Bay is really amazing. And what better way to spend Valentines Day than to take in the sights and history from this magical place.

The Valentine's Day special went well. We ran two trips and although one large group cancelled on the last minute we went ahead anyway!

Look out for the next exciting trip.

Doing it on V Day

We are in Hout Bay this Sunday and what better way than to take part in our "Alternate Valentine's Day Plan" special.

Good enough to be used in Antarctica

So, on our way to our latest charter we see that MCM (Marine and Coastal Management) have been inspired by us and the LEGENDARY ZANGETSU.It was enough to give the members of Conquest Charters Marine and Tourism a warm fuzzy feeling.

In summary they have a Gemini Wave Rider 850 with two Honda 225 engines as the work horses (sound familiar). But being monitoring vessels they went with the bright RED color scheme.

Since each boat has a single hoist point, they will undoubtedly serve as tenders to the larger marine fleet. Who knows they might end up in the antarctic aboard the SA Agulhas.Did I mention that warm fuzzy feeling? ....and that Zangetsu is a legend!

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.
