South Africa 2011
Team Bridge arrived in CT & Oliver was quick to get out to join the Thursday evening race session off Big Bay! Trade wind switch off & this place is pretty relaxing – onshore sea breezes & warmer water temperatures have been the norm. We thought the best way to get the ‘fire in the belly’ was to climb the quickest, but steepest,gully to table mountain. A 1hr 30min ascent was well worth the massive view across to Cape Point & over the CT city. 700 mtrs ...Read more

As for the other incidents one involved someone being knocked unconcious whilst the other involved someone who dislocated and broke their leg/ankle. It is not hard to see why ...Read more

There are a series of yellow buoys that run north- south in the duck pond. The ...Read more
