"Oh, that would be so cool!" we all said, almost in unison. A few minutes later we found the jetty where it sailed from and asked when the next trip was. "Right now, you wanna come?" was the response and the next thing we know, we're signing indemnity agreements and strapping on life vests.
And then for the next hour we enjoyed the most amazing white knuckle ride around the bay at speeds of 55 knots (I could see the speedo!), with spray around us and hair totally windswept. Fantastic.
At one point we headed far offshore and got up close to a giant container ship - the MSC Stella (google it) - that was anchored waiting port. We were so close I could almost touch it. It was immense. At the back of the ship (the stern?) we actually went underneath the overhanging end.
I wish I could have taken my camera, but I'm glad I didn't as I got soaked.
But I'm sure you could google Waterfront Boat Company if you want to see pictures.
So a fun packed day. Earlier, we had lunch of fish and chips at Haut Bay and then walked along the beach. Tomorrow we're going back to Boulders to swim with the penguins and also visit Robben Island assuming the wind dies down a bit.
Oh, and today's highest temperature? 34C
