Hout Bay Yacht Club marina in winter


This is a very typical winters day scene in Hout Bay, given that winter here is often wet and stormy, we do got some really nice spells of calm weather and with warm sunshine and blue skies.


John is reading his book and seated on a bench off yacht Gambula, the bench was fastened down on the aft deck at one time but was donated to the marina.

Sailors walk to their yacht and to be honest this really is winter at its best, the air was a warm 24c (smile)

How nice can this get!

The camera is a Canon G1X digital as my Canon G11 died with its lens extended................

South Africa Hout Bay Yacht Club marina today


For the start of winter we had a decent day, colder than a month back but no rain today.


Picture was taken with a Sony Cybershot digital camera.

The boat on the right is a Dix 43 in wood/epoxy build, the boat is loaded for cruising, contact me for the details.

More HBYC marina upgrades


The process of maintainance on the HBYC marina is an ongoing event, as mentioned most works are sub sea so not readily visible, not so with the new walkway bridge and landing.


Brand new planks were installed yesterday, ready for the summer season and the arrival of the world cruising yachts.


Out with the old and in with the new.


The clubs launch is a real workhorse, used for placing bouys and by the divers when doing the annual chain maintainance.
