Today was warm and calm so we decided on a little boat trip on the Mirage –
There were 7 passengers and 4 crew members!!! Not short of space!!
Navigation point – Sorry, I think it’s called the helm –
And some real attention to detail –
A view of Table Mountain from the Bay –
And a couple of paragliders –
Theses are some of the vessels we passed.
The Spirit of Victoria –
The Leopard –
The Polonia from Morovia –
These are an example of Doloses which make up a lot of the sea defences-
Dolos (plural dolosse- livestock knuckle bones used as toy oxen; Afrikaans with approximate pronunciation “dawl-awe-suh”) is a concrete block in a complex geometric shape weighing up to 20 tons, used in great numbers to protect harbour walls from the erosive force of ocean waves. They were developed in East London, a port city in South Africa, in 1963. Thank you Wikipedia! –
A lovely old lighthouse amongst all the modern buildings –
Jet skiers having a good time –
And that’s about it for today. Just one last photo –
Table mountain with the lions head and signal hill.
A very splendid day out.
