A few pics from our Buffels Bay vacation

The vacation was not long. The school start tomorrow and we had to be back in time (sadly) Nevertheless we all had a stunning time :-)

Paramotoring - Brenton on See and Knysna lake in the background.

All the houses there is in Buffel's Bay.

Looking West from above 'The Heads'. Brenton on See to the right and Buffel's Bay.

Best in flight pic of myself :-)

While flying between Kabeljous lagoon and Gamtoos river mouth, Bastjan (fellow pilot) took this stunning pic with his cell phone! Believe it or not, this is one of a handful of pics I have of myself paramotoring. Tx Bastjan, it was a pleasure flying with you.

A few pics from my last flight to Gamtoos river mouth

Bastjan (now a friend of mine) came down to the coast for a visit. After a few cell phone messages, we linked up and went for two nice flights around Jeffrey's Bay.

(All this pics are Geotagged - in case you know what that is and want to see in GoogleEarth where exactly I did take them.)

Flying back to Kabeljous from Gamtoos mouth.

See, dunes and Bastjan :-)

At Gamtoos mouth (just behind me) and looking at horses on the beach.

I and Bastjan packing up. What a day.

My first Paramotor flight . . . after a long break.

Yesterday I went to the Kabeljous lagoon, to fly with my paramotor. I use to fly it fairly regularly, until I had a smallish stroke about 7 months ago and got grounded :-( 

This time around I had a flight plan and sticked to it. Usually I fly without a flight plan (bad habit).  I took of and flew down the beach in a Southerly direction until I arrived in St.Francis Bay where I took a few shots of the recently burned houses. Then I flew back to Kabeljous for a nice landing. A 40 Km round trip. It was a bit turbulent but not enough to spoil the day :-)

Do you notice the fire damage? Somewhere on this blog is a earlier picture of the same location. If I stumble upon it i will post it again for comparison. What a sad image :-(

Kwagga dam outing.

What to do on a Saturday? I for one, ended up at our local dam where we had a nice barbeque with a few friends. What a day.

On the way to the dam wall.
