Crocodile cage diving anyone?

While many are aware of and have tried cage diving with sharks, has anyone given crocodile cage diving a thought?! 

Crocodile cage diving is available in the Oudstshoorn area of the Western Cape at the Cango Wildlife Ranch. There are also other animal encounters available like touching cheetahs.

Follow the link below for more details.

The Russian sailing ship Sedov is on port.

The world's largest traditional sailing ship, the STS Sedov, has docked at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town after an absence of 77 years.

The Russian vessel, primarily a training ship, was launched in 1921 and holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest sailing vessel dedicated to the training of naval cadets.

It's journey started in early 2012, covering more than 45000 nautical miles and calling on ports on four continents - Europe, America, Asia and Africa.

The expedition is devoted to the celebration of the 1150th anniversary of the birth of Russian statehood.

See the video link of the news report of proceedings below. It should also give you an idea of what the surrounding area looks like.

Navy tries to sink Seli-One.

Today turned out to be an interesting one sitting at Pakalolo enjoying a drink and an awesome view. The South African Navy made several attempts blow up the remains of the Seli 1 wreck. Truth be told I had been wondering whether the idea was feasible just last week!!!
