de Kelders, Western Cape
Looking out at Walker Bay and the site of my gallops the previous day. Â Miles and miles of golden sand stretching all the way to Hermanus. Â Backdrop of pristine sand dunes, fynbos and the Overberg Mountains.

Hemel en aarde
Honingklip brewery
Birkenhead Brewery
 As this is my very first blogpost I thought Iâd start with home. So most of you know Hermanus as the Whale Capitol, however there is so much more to see and do than just whale watching.
A lot of activities in and around Hermanus is weather permitting, so I get asked a lot âwhat do you do when it rainsâ. My answer is always âwe eat and we drinkâ. Trust me when I say this. Our local wines are top quality and itâs well worth taking a tour through the Hemel-and-Aarde Valleyâs wine farms and thereâs no better guide than Percy from Percy Tours .
If wineâs not your thing, we have a few craft beer breweries too. Thereâs Birkenhead Brewery and Walkerbay Estate in Stanford (25 km from Hermanus) and Honingklip Brewery towards Botrivier (25km from Hermanus). Both places have a restaurant that I would describe as serving comfort food.
Visit the art galleries. There are around 13 galleries in the town centre alone showing a wide variety of different art forms. Do take note of the First Fridays, where every 1st Friday of the month the galleries stay open until 8pm and they serve snacks and wine. Take note that the art works are for sale. So be careful not to follow in my footsteps and drink a little too much wine and end up going home with beautiful piece of local art. Actually do follow in my footsteps, because I love that painting and canât stop staring at it.
Thatâs all Iâve got for today.
Until next time, happy travels

South Africa Cape Town - Hermanus Day 3
Il western Cape Ă© lâunica provincia del sud Africa in cui la maggioranza della popolazione Ă© classificata come â coloured â e parla lâAfrikaans come prima lingua anche se tutti conoscono lâinglese.
Arriviamo a Hermanus passando da Betty Bay percorrendo tutta la False Bay.
La cittadina di Hermanus grande e vivace il cui sviluppo turistico negli ultimi anni Ăš dovuto in gran parte alla presenza nella Walker Bay di un gran numero di balene franche australi che frequentano queste acque da giugno a dicembre per la riproduzione e far crescere i piccoli balenotteri.
Alloggiamo allâHARBOUR House Hotel.
Questo tipo in foto si chiama Eric Davalala che durante la stagione delle balene presidia la scogliera con lo sguardo dritto verso il mare in cerca di balene. Appena ne avvista una emette un suono con il suo corno fatto di alghe.
Ci dirigiamo verso il porto nuovo e prenotiamo unâescursione in barca per praticare lo whale-watchkng ( avvistamento di balene ).
Con la compagnia Southern right charters dopo un piccolo corso alla piero angela in inglese sulle balene integrato ad un bignami sulla sicurezza in mare indossando i nostri giubbottini arancioni, siamo salpati.
Siamo stati fortunati perchĂ© una balena ed il suo piccolo hanno nuotato proprio vicino alla nostra imbarcazione saltando e tuffandosi piĂč volte. Esperienza unica.
Rientriamo alla base giusto il tempo di capire dove andare a cena e siamo giĂĄ con le gambe sotto il tavolo.
La specialitĂ sono i gamberoni e noi ci fidiamo anche se vogliamo evitarlo il â Fried â Ăš sempre presente. Dopo aver sgranato tutto questo ben di dio andiamo a letto.

Yellow kayaks out on the sea. With the whales currently in the bay, I suppose that this activity has a pretty hefty disclaimer that you first need to sign! :D #kayaking #seakayaking #hermanus #walkerbay #overberg #southafrica #anexploringsouthafrican (at Hermanus, Western Cape)

LâOptimist, un petit bateau qui a une grande place dans la plaisance
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0443193d1ae1e68cf71592efb9ef213b/c328f80aea18b544-17/s540x810/13e4d86721f8c43b03a3d072a2b7454e74cc0ac7.jpg)
LâOptimist est sans doute le voilier le plus populaire. Ce petit bateau est, gĂ©nĂ©ralement, le premier voilier dâune longue sĂ©rie. Retour sur un petit voilier toujours plein de jeunesse. Nombre de plaisanciers, et de skippers professionnel de toute gĂ©nĂ©ration ont commencĂ© la voile sur un Optimist. Il sâagit dâun des premiers voiliers sur lequel les enfants apprennent Ă faire du bateau, en Ă©cole de voile. Avec son vieux grĂ©ement et son allure de caisse Ă savon, ce petit voilier nâest pas trĂšs jeune. Pourtant, il reste indĂ©trĂŽnable pour apprendre la voile et se faire plaisir. Mais dâoĂč vient ce succĂšs et quelle est lâhistoire de lâOptimist ?
Lâhistoire de lâOptimist
Lâhistoire de lâOptimist commence de lâautre cĂŽtĂ© de lâAtlantique, aux USA. Un peu Ă lâimage de lâĂ©cole des GlĂ©nan, en France, lâhistoire de ce petit voilier est avant tout une histoire sociale, une volontĂ© dâaccompagner les enfants des classes populaires. En 1947, un homme, Clifford McKay, dĂ©cide de mettre en place une Ă©cole de voile pour occuper les jeunes des quartiers dĂ©favorisĂ©s. LâidĂ©e est de les enlever de la rue, en journĂ©e, et donc de la dĂ©linquance. Il fait alors appel Ă un architecte pour crĂ©er un petit voilier. Il sâagit de Clark Mills. Il lui donnera une ligne directrice, pour le dessin, directement inspirĂ©e des cĂ©lĂšbres caisses Ă savon, dont les courses, aux USA, sont trĂšs populaires depuis 1933. Lâarchitecte dessine alors un petit voilier, pour enfants. Mais ce voilier est en plus trĂšs simple de fabrication afin de le rendre accessible Ă la construction amateure, et pas trop chĂšre pour les Ă©coles de voiles. Le bateau est un vrai succĂšs et trĂšs rapidement, lâOptimist devient une classe avec de trĂšs nombreuses rĂ©gates. Dans les annĂ©es 50, le voilier arrive en Europe, par la Scandinavie. Le danois Axel Damgaard modifiera lĂ©gĂšrement les plans en 1960, afin que lâoptimist puisse ĂȘtre standardisĂ©. En 1995, lâOptimist devient un monotype, construit par plus de 30 constructeurs dans le monde. Et il est pratiquĂ© dans plus de 100 pays. Un sacrĂ© succĂšs.
PrĂ©sentation de lâOptimist
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0073084c659cd88823aa4b348c08ecac/c328f80aea18b544-f1/s540x810/cebd55d0c76dc03fbfe49d928b4ab7a5fe717b6a.jpg)
LâOptimist est utilisĂ© par des enfants, jusquâĂ 15 ans. Mais aujourdâhui, Ă partir de 12 ans, les Ă©coles proposent plutĂŽt des petits catamarans. LâintĂ©rĂȘt de ce petit voilier et sa simplicitĂ©. Il sâagit dâun bateau simple dâentretien et facile Ă faire naviguer. Son grĂ©ement est un catboat. Ce type de grĂ©ement Ă plusieurs avantages : - Un mĂąt situĂ© Ă lâavant du bateau - Une seule voile - Pas de haubans LâOptimist est, du coup, un bateau simple Ă grĂ©er et Ă mettre Ă lâeau. Mais cette simplicitĂ© nâenlĂšve rien Ă lâapprentissage des manĆuvres et du rĂ©glage de la voile. Sa voile aurique est une voile lattĂ©e avec un hale-bas et, bien Ă©videmment, lâĂ©coute de grand-voile. La coque de lâOptimist est, historiquement, construite en contreplaquĂ©. Cependant, aujourdâhui, il est disponible en stratifiĂ©. Le bateau est dĂ©riveur, avec une dĂ©rive sabre, aussi utile pour garder son cap, que pour redresser le bateau, aprĂšs avoir dĂ©sallĂ©. Si ce voilier est un petit dĂ©riveur dâapprentissage, il a traversĂ© la Manche Ă plusieurs reprises.
Combien coûte un Optimist ?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/23683769b0138e7fc06130d101afc13c/c328f80aea18b544-d6/s540x810/1bbee51477dbdd05cce55b4ee763610602554893.jpg)
Aujourdâhui, lâOptimist est toujours produit. Mais vous imaginez bien que le marchĂ© regorge de voiliers dâoccasion. Il est possible dâacquĂ©rir un optimiste pour quelques centaines dâeuros auprĂšs de particuliers ou Ă©coles de voiles, qui renouvellent leur flotte. Il faudra, sans doute, revoir certaines piĂšces dâaccastillage et vĂ©rifier lâĂ©tat de la dĂ©rive. Mais le bateau est toujours disponible neuf. Il faudra compter entre 2000 et 5000 euros, suivant lâĂ©quipement, pour un voilier neuf.
Les alternatives
Si lâOptimist est toujours le voilier le plus populaire pour apprendre la voile aux plus petits, et aux plus petites, il nâest pas le seul voilier Ă proposer ce programme. Lâalternative la plus crĂ©dible est sans doute un autre voilier amĂ©ricain. Il sâagit du Walkerbay. Ce petit bateau est une barque pouvant se transformer en petit voilier simple. TrĂšs populaire, il ne semble pourtant pas adaptĂ© aux Ă©coles de voiles. Laser Performance, connu pour ces dĂ©riveurs rapides, propose aussi un modĂšle pour les plus petits. Mais lâinnovation la plus pertinente vient de la France, avec des voiliers gonflables. Il sâagit du Tiwal, qui connaĂźt un rĂ©el succĂšs Ă lâinternational, et du Tribord S5 de dĂ©cathlon. Enfin, pour vous faire plaisir et acheter un beau petit voilier, je vous conseille dâaller voir du cĂŽtĂ© du chantier de La gazelle des sables, avec son petit Loustic.
