Great to see people out and enjoying themselves again. This
looks like a lesson taking place
Lots of dogs and families enjoying the beach
And this chocolate Labrador was a wonderful retriever of her
owner’s shots with the ball
An composite action photograph shows just how good she is
The sea temperature must have been sooo cold, but these
children didn’t mind
Time to leave the water
We must admit that it is not somewhere
we would contemplate swimming,
as the river does bring raw sewage down to the
sea
"See what I have to show you Pa"
Sea reflections
Cosy blue mussels, Mytilus edulis
And white mussels, surf clam (Donax serra) are found here as
well
So peaceful at noon
A close up view of the harbour and the homes of many of the
local fisher folk above
A fishing boat going out to sea
More than 20 years ago, John knew Nauticat very well, when it was sponsored by AGFA Film
and the fishing boat coming back to harbour with a crayfish
catch. Winter is generally the snoek season
In synch
We have had a very wet winter (for which we are very
thankful)
and we have not seen the river with so much water in it for a long
time
Homes high on the hill with great bay views
One of our favourite restaurants, Dunes, to come to, meet friends and to bring
overseas visitors
Simple but very good food and draught beer
We favour the upper
terrace in good weather, but the lower when its windy and chilly
But not this
day, we had our mind set on an Indian takeaway from the Indian Oven in the
village
Sadly, the crabs on our coast never seem to get big enough
to eat
What we don’t want to see on any beach, small pieces of
plastic
and although the beach is regularly cleaned by the Council
workers and concerned locals,
the small pieces slip through the net
Glass-bottomed Calypso, another tourist boat
Drumbeat II takes tours and is also available for charters
Heading for home
A winter picnic with fish and chips from Mariner's Wharf
And a bus load of enthusiastic young lads had just arrived
Don't know what the young miscreant on the beach had done to be chased!
The landmark bronze leopard of Hout Bay was sculpted by Ivan Mitford-Barberton who,
after creating it, donated it to the Hout Bay community
The statue was placed on its rocky pedestal by the Divisional Council on 14th March 1963
Empty chairs and empty tables; luxury suites at the Chapman's Peak Hotel. Now open again
And we were off to buy our take away curry for our supper that night and then deliver supper to our friend
