I was out at Bluewater Bay (which was brown and definitely not blue) and went onward toward Coega. Took a quick snap of the harbour wall with the islands (Jahleel and St Croix in the background behind the wall. Brenton is not in the picture.) I was surprised how far the harbour wall extends and always considered Coega harbour to be a little way out of Port Elizabeth. Coega is really close to the Swartkops River and I would estimate 5 minutes at 120 kilometres an hour. Here is the picture. Not one of my better efforts, but anyway. I have labeled the islands on the picture - note how close Jahleel is to the outside of the harbour wall. The wind was really blowing when I took this photograph and the sea had a haze above it.
Managed to clean the swimming pool while I wait for the sea water to offer a dive opportunity. The children are real water babies or is that water rats. They cannot get enough and will swim 5 dives a day if we allow them. Chelbi (the 3 almost 4 year old) was splashing the paper wasps as they landed and gathered water that had been splashed on the tiles. Chelbi is fearless and I managed to film a few clips of her jumping into the deep end with me lying on my back on the bottom. The clip that is uploaded seems to have lost a considerable amount of quality during the upload - not sure why.
I decided to find the wasps nest as they seem to return ever year for the past 5 or 6 years. Even building alterations appear not to deter these insects.
Picture of the wasps nest - my hands were shaking as I took this from reasonably close. They appeared a bit agitated.
Chelbi - video clip.
