The whales are back. False Bay is teeming with southern rights again. On Saturday we saw a bunch frolicking about off Sunny Cove and more near Simonstown. It appears they are a little late this time, in recent years they have usually arrived by early August. On Sunday afternoon the north-wester was up again and I had a two-hour wave-skiing session at Muizies. It had howled all weekend but finally dropped off. Every now and again I sat and waited at the back. A southern right with black and white markings lazily rolled by about 300m offshore. There were also a few seals popping in and out of the swells and the odd seagull would glide by low to the water where the air was calmest. As the wind dropped the water became glassy and the swell shape improved, allowing for long rides ahead of the white water. The QSL is from 756 AM in Maldwyn (a different kind of 'Wales', lol). This low-powered transmitter came into Kent in the middle of the morning.
