It was lucky that the body surfing tournament got moved to Monday morning. In the afternoon the wind came through with sharp teeth, churning the ocean into a field of white horses. Since then the swell has been on the up rise. Yesterday Seal Point was as packed, Like Loftus Stadium during the Currie Cup Final. Today there are serious waves across the Eastern Cape. I took a few shots of Bruce’s and Sowetoes this morning. Take a look at the choka boats on the horizon— evidence of how big it must be out to sea.
Also, spare a thought for the fishermen who went missing on Monday evening. The ocean can be ruthless and cruel, like all acts of Mother Nature. It’s harsh, but this incident points to the many reasons fishermen are on strike at the moment. They ARE underpaid, under compensated for the risks they take and underprepared for the things that can happen at sea.
