Seen from my Canon G11,the camera views the camera and the yacht on Hout Bays Harbour slip.

As soon as the crewmember taking the video went down to lend a hand,I walked over to keep a watchfull eye on his camera,I am told they have had one stolen in the Seycheles already?

The make is Sony,I dont know what model as yet.




The team of whats posted as Extreme Sportsmen on Energy Diet,no ordinary crew is this,one is an Olympic Gold Medal winner in cycling,I need to find out which one?


The boat in calm waters,not much of that on South Africa coast line!
I shall get the correct names to the four guys later,here some strain was on the control line to the shore.


Big guy,small camera.


Moving a craft thats eleven meters long and eight meters wide on a ski boat trailer is not so simple.


The boat needed a tie down on this side,then they were ready to move to the HBYC boat park.


We do not see many Russian flags in Hout Bay!



The South African national flag with the Sponsers own flag.



The flag says it all,I have not yet tasted this stuff,wonder if the have samples?



Energy Diet is loaded and strapped down on the starboard side,the landrover is Chris Suttons and it was his job to move the boat through the busy harbour at whats rush hour tourist wise,more pics to follow.
