The photo shows Hout Bay as seen from Chapman's Peak drive. You will find the following in Hout Bay: a long beach, mountains (including the back of Table Mountain), Whales, a few seals in the harbour, hundreds of seals on Seal Island, dunes, a fisheries harbour, many restaurants (even an Austrian restaurant), four supermarkets, Mandela Park, japanese Tourists, French Tourists, Swiss Tourists, emigrants from all over the world and a naked bathing beach.

You can get strong winds in Hout Bay. When the South-Easterly turns East, it generally gets ugly. This happened mid November. Gusts reached 70 knots (12 Beaufort, hurrican). Part of the marina swam belly side up, a boat was dismated and another one crushed.

A picture from the archive: Anahita was built here (you see the red dot at the end of the dirt road). Baboos live on the mountain in the background.

After two months in Saldanha Bay, we came back to Hout Bay for repairs and completion work. Finally, we sailed on to Cape Town. In the Royal Cape Yacht Club we took Anahita out of the water, re-did the antifouling, and had some other jobs done in order to get ready for the Atlantic crossing.
