𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲...𝐀𝐚𝐚𝐡𝐡𝐡 𝐒𝐎 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝!

A gentle breeze, a sunlit haze,
On Gordon's Bay, through golden days.
The winter whispers, soft and low,
But warmth embraces, a gentle glow.
Barefoot prints on sands so fine,
Problems forgotten, peace divine.

The ocean sighs, a calming sound,
As tranquil moments here are found.
No hurried pace, no urgent call,
Just human souls, embracing all.
So let the day unfurl its grace,
In Gordon's Bay, a timeless space.

Where winter's touch feels like a dream......

And chillaxing is the day's main theme 🌞.

The Sailing Academy, the sister company to next 'learn to sail a keelboat' level 1 course runs on the weekend of the 24th and 25th May at Gordon's Bay Yacht Club.

The course consists of some basic sailing theory ashore, boat orientation and sailing out in the bay where they could see seals, dolphins, brydes whales and a penguin or two. 

Join them for a fun filled weekend both on and off the water.  The Gordon's Bay Yacht Club galley and bar will be open for lunch and refreshments.

Space is limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

Oops the weather has taken a bit of a dip but Gordons Bay experiences mild winters compared to many other regions, and several factors still make it viable for  good sailing conditions during this time:

* Mediterranean Climate: The Western Cape region, including Gordons Bay, has a Mediterranean climate characterized by wet winters and dry, warm summers. However, the winter cold is often moderated by the proximity to the ocean.

* Temperate Temperatures: While you will experience cooler days, the average winter temperatures in Gordons Bay typically range from lows of around 10-12°C (50-54°F) to highs of 18-20°C (64-68°F). This means it's generally not freezing, and you'll still have pleasant days.

* Sunshine: Even in winter, Cape Town and the surrounding areas still receive a fair amount of sunshine. These sunny breaks can make for beautiful sailing days, especially when combined with calmer winds.

* Protection of False Bay: Gordons Bay is nestled in the northeastern corner of False Bay. False Bay itself offers some protection from the full force of the Atlantic storms that can affect other parts of the Cape Peninsula. This can lead to more sheltered waters and better sailing conditions compared to the Atlantic seaboard during winter.

* Steady Breezes: While summer can be dominated by the strong southeasterly winds (known as the "Cape Doctor"), winter often brings more moderate and steady northwesterly breezes. These can be ideal for leisurely sailing without the intensity of the summer winds.

* Clear Air and Visibility: Winter days after a rain shower can offer incredibly clear air and excellent visibility, allowing for stunning views of the surrounding mountains and coastline from the water.

* Fewer Crowds: The winter months are generally the low tourist season in Cape Town. This means you'll likely encounter fewer boats on the water and experience a more peaceful sailing environment.

* Warmer Sea Temperatures in False Bay: Interestingly, due to the prevailing winds, the sea temperature in False Bay can sometimes be warmer in winter than on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula. SEE YOU SOON!
