Three days running the north-wester has blown steadily over the Cape and each morning I headed early down to Muizies with the paddle-ski. This is pretty unusual for mid-summer when the south-easter usually prevails, flattening and chopping up the surf. The first morning saw a big swell but the shape was still forming. Several surfers were far out waiting for big ones but hardly any of them was catching anything. So I hovered a bit closer in and looked for swells at critical break point but with shape to give me a left or right hand ride. It worked well and I had quite a few long runs keeping just ahead of the break, cutting back to keep up the power. In the parking lot a guy in a South African-assembled Chrysler Grand Voyager got into an argument with another driver blocking the way and there was some loud, angry hooting. Chrysler has just announced that it expects a profit this year for the first time since it filed for bankruptcy protection after the credit crunch in 2009. It is now owned by Fiat and has brought out a spate of new models. The QSL is from WJR heard on 760 AM in 1991. The transmitter is located in Riverview, Michigan, not far from Chrysler's HQ.
