Hermanus and the Southern Right Whale of Antartica

Todays agenda was to find the Southern Right Whale.  This particular whale swims up from Antartica to mate and birth in the warmer bay.  It received it's name of the "Right" Whale because it was the correct or right whale to kill.  They swim slow, swim close to shore and float on top of the water when they die.  Not so nice, but now they are protected and the numbers of these whales are slowly increasing.  We were supposed to see the great white sharks but the number of these has dramatically decreased and the sharks have possibly relocated them selves for unknown reasons, as of yet.  We saw the shark viewing boat with the cages in the water that were filled with people.  The water was extremely cold, burr.

It was a super beautiful day to float out in a boat.  The car ride to the boat was about 2 1/2 hour.  We drove past more of the Shanty sheds.  Cape town has provided some of these with electric power.

    About  Us

    After my husbands widow maker heart attack in 2004, the doctor said just relax and enjoy life for a while. So it happened: the 43' NewMar Mountain Aire coach was purchased and the house sold....eventually. Relaxing? Not always! We are truly blessed to spend this time together... and with friends. 

    Up Date:
