7 October 2025
Good morning all you super cool Wild2fly people! :)) Some sweet early morning towing and exciting late afternoon scooter towing at Oudtshoorn yesterday. Not sure what happened in Wilderness... The groups were very quiet. ;) Today looking exceptionally good for flying - Rouberre and a few others are gearing up for a big one from Serps. ;) Fingers crossed for good flights from there! We are having some post frontal air around so nice and unstable conditions expected. Expecting Q's especially later in the day. Winds are SW to S for most of the day but in the mid to late afternoon it goes more westerly and picks up. So, the BS ratio a bit more active later at Sedge going counter intuitive to what we would imagine. ;) It’s looking a tad light for the coast but perhaps something lucky might pop through. Browse the graphs below for more detail. ;) Low tide was at 9:18 and high tide is at 15:33. Sunrise was at 5:58 and setting at 18:37. Daylight of just 12hrs and 39 minutes. ;) Max temps today a sweet 18 degrees C! ;) Have a lekker one everybody and as always, remember also to take a moment and reflect on God. That’s really what life is all about. (Matt 28:6. John 14:6. Rom 10:9)
