A late afternoon paramotor flight.

Below are a few pictures I took while paramotoring around Humansdorp, my home town.

Bang in the middle is my Boss's house :-)

If you drive down this road without stopping, you'll end up strait in my garden.

Kwanomzamo, our township.

My friend's house and diary farm.

Dr. Delpoort's dam.

Humansdorp East with Boskloof (my suburb) at the upper right (far away).

My cockpit instruments (one is missing because I use it as a camera to take the picture)

A very nice weekend . . .

Here are a few pictures from our weekend at Keurboom river resort. I want to thank ALL my friends with whom I had such a nice time there. I can't wait for the next outing.

Our local Airfield is underwater.

For almost 6 months now the Paradise Beach airfield has a huge problem. During August 2011 we had good rains. At first people were happy but when flooding became a issue, the mood changed quickly. Worst of all areas was Paradise Beach. There, a huge dune of about 30-40m high and 300-500 meter wide, has cutoff the low lying inland. Therefore, every time it rains more then normal, the rain water is stuck.  Unfortunately the local airfield is regularly submerged. Depending on the amount of water, it can take up to a year before it dries out and by that time the following rainy season is here. I am fortunate though. Very fortunate I don’t need an airfield at all. A car park will do. I fly a paramotor

The pic I took hastily with my cell phone (a oldish Nokia N8) while paramotoring up and down the coast. If you are interested, there is a short youtube video. However, the quality is not that good. My helmet handy-cam is rather "skinny". Mind you, it easily fits in a standard sized match box with room to spare.

Some more pics from our Capetown vacation.

Wine tour - the end. (note the slightly blurry bottle in the background! I am shaking a bit. Or is it the ground shaking?

Club Mykonos on the west coast. Believe it or not, I won this round :-)

Clanwilliam dam is 100% full. Looks much better in reality then in this pic.

Eating pora's "fish and chips".

And buying the "Fish and Chips" from the one and only - Pora's fish market :-)

Marina just before going on the famous "Cobra" roller-coaster at Ratanga junction in Capetown. The Cobra pulls a bit more G's then my paramotor when I fly tight spirals, but it only lasts for a second or so. Mind you, that was enough for Marina to slightly hurt her neck :-(

Michael (right in the front carriage) on the "snail train" at Ratanga pleasure park.

Table Mount seen from Water front - what a sight -

This pics have been taken with my cellphone (Nokia N8) and are geo-tagged!

Use the program Picasa + Googleearth to see the exact location.

Welcome to the 21-st century :-)

Our Dam is full :-)

Loerie Dam at 100%

How nice. For a change our nearest dam is full. This dam is fairly small at only 3100Megalitres and function as a ballancing dam to the much bigger Kauga dam (126000Megalitres) Nevertheless is a nice sight to see a dam overflowing.
