Saturday 3rd July

A little overcast with the sun breaking through. Odd short showers from time to time but a lovely warm day anyway. Lots of people kayaking and having a great time.

The taps are dry on Cape most homes are without water since yesterday due to the failure of the pump from the desalination plant. We are using seawater to flush the toilets and bottled water for tea etc.

Severe water shortages on Cape, please use water sparingly.

June has been exceptional for Basking Sharks, Dolphins and even the odd Orca (killer whale), click the link to read more...http://www.mamut.net/capeclearislandhostel/newslist.htm
