EP52 | West coast South Africa part 5 - Kraalbaai | Sailing Pluto

Sailing in South Africa at the best of times are challenging and can mean having all four seasons in one day. Heavy rain, heavy winds as we sail from Saldanha Bay to Langebaan. We anchor at Oudepost and move onto Kraalbaai, a notoriously narrow and shallow channel and entry into one of the most prestine areas in South Africa.

Saffers on a sailboat. Awesome. I am tired of all the foreign videos and you guys are a breath of fresh air

[@SailingPluto]

Thanks Chris. Great to know. And thanks for following along.

I've only recently discovered your channel. It's so great to see some sailing videos about our own country. Wishing you all the best.

Good to see you exploring the area. Some nice little spots to visit. Kraalies being a firm favourite. Hopefully the weather will warm up soon! Keep the videos coming!

[@SailingPluto]

A thanks Paul. I can just imagine Kraalbaai is paradise in summer. A few other gems we found and will share soon too.

Bri and I just watched this now. Ahhhh, we so enjoy watching your adventures. Loved your painting!! Pizza night also sounds so good! We just got a pizza oven so I am inspired to make pizzas tomorrow too :) Sending you guys love from the both of us xx

[@SailingPluto]

I like the painting 🎨! Nice video

[@SailingPluto]

Thank you and thanks for watching. PS. painting is done with coffee btw

[@cliffordwright9733]

The best way to kraalbaai is past the Langebaan yacht club to shark bay , turn right into a narrow channel & then straight across .Enjoy 👍

[@SailingPluto]

Thanks for the tip. Will try your option next time. This one from Oudepost was definitely tight.

You really do get all the weather! It looks gorgeous - can’t wait to get Zingaro up there.. Flower season must be a pretty time to be there, providing you can avoid the queue of marching ants.. Great video :) It’s nice to “see” you again

@Sailing Pluto *_ I kept hearing you say "KAALBAAI" ..... Did you guys experience anything with the South Seas Earthquake last night (Saturday **20:20**) Cheers! _*

[@SailingPluto]

Flip, maybe if we sail there in SUMMER, but no kaalbaai this round. It was freeezzzziing. Layers and layers of clothing. Did not feel a thing of the earthquake (but then again, we are used to so much movement)

"There are two types of sailors: Those who've run aground and those that lie." Sien uit na julle volgende video! Ek sien julle het 'n band op julle pushpit, is dit om te gebruik as 'n drogue?

[@SailingPluto]

Sarel, ons het PRESIES daardie gesprek gehad saammet die ander ouens die vorige aand. Hilarious. Ek het gewonder wanneer iemand iets oor die buiteband gaan sê. Ja, dit is vir 'n drogue. Dit werk ook goed vir bietjie weight training op die boot en dit laat die boot soos die Landy lyk.
