Durban from 3000'

Postby Fairy Flycatcher » Mon Apr 24, 2006 9:58 am

This morning was so clear, and I was doing a survey of the lagoon with some Geologists. They kindly agreed to take some photos for my collection as well, and I just wanted to share this one.

FF, wasn't it a bit cold at 3000? Gauging by the bare hands, I guess not !

It was 13 at Cato and 11 in Pmb this morning.

But in true Durban style, I had sandals on (so did my passenger, thats his feet down here), and no gloves. We were wearing freezer suits though, which helps 8) :D
