It looks like it 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: is shaping up to be a spectacular day in the 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 2: mother City today. With a higher twenty six degrees celsius 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 2: and a fresh southeasterly blowing. We really are starting to 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: ease into autumn your Musemberg prospects for those of you 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: who are enjoying the Muzenberg vibe for surfing. Because of 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: that strong onshore southeaster you're looking at two to three 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: foot waist to show the high, sloppy white water waves. 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: With the winds increasing in the afternoon, it's probably best 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: for beginners in the morning. It might be okay until 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 2: around three PM if the winds have not got too 16 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: strong by that stage. High tide was at four thirty 17 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: five am this morning. It'll be high tide again at 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: five pm this afternoon. Low tide will be coming through 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: at ten forty five am. If you are a fan 20 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: or a follower of outdoor activities this weekend, there's only 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 2: one place to be and that's Kutzenberg in Stellenbosch. It's 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: the stage for the final two stages of this year's 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: ABS Cape Epic, So get out there and support the 24 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: Cape Tonians. Some of them are doing exceptionally well, and 25 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: of course our very own Candice lil Is currently in 26 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: the UCI Woman leaders Orange Jersey and other South Africans 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: all doing really really well. Today is the penultimate stage. 28 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: It's already underway. The UCI men got underway earlier this 29 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: morning and along with the general field today is seventy 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: six kilometers. I'll be climbing twenty four hundred and fifty meters. 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: It's going to be another tough stage, starting at Kutzenberg. 32 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: The Elite Woman they will be starting at bug Hook 33 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: in Stellenbosch and they get underway at twenty past eight 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: this morning. You can expect the first riders back in 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: Kutzenberg at the finish just after ten am this morning, 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 2: somewhere around five past ten or so, but it obviously 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: depends on conditions. But it's a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: a day out at Kusenberg in Stellenbosch supporting the entire field, 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: and they are going to be coming through into late afternoon. 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: They will be on very, very tired legs. After a 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: week of hard writing, big news last weekend we heard 42 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: from Ryan stram Rude as he prepared his attempt to 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: circum navigate the volcanic Saint Helena Island, and the great 44 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 2: news is on Thursday, Ryan became only the third human 45 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: to swim around Saint Helena. And well I heard from 46 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: Ryan yesterday after he had enjoyed a well deserved sleep. 47 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: Hey Jeff, thanks as always for your interest. I am 48 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: a little bit croaky this morning because my throat is 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: all seized up from exposure to salt water. I'm really 50 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: happy to say that I got my challenge done. I 51 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: hold the new speed record for around Saint Helena in 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: sixteen hours and fifty minutes and forty two seconds, still 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 3: pending ratification. Got a weather gap, or we looked like 54 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: a decent weather gap. I left at midnight on Wednesday, 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: which means I swam right through Thursday for those sixteen 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 3: hours through the night first and then enter the day. 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: And I finished at just before ten to five in 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: the evening. A really really brutal swim. For me, swimming 59 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: around this island is not easy. I did not get 60 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: the best weather day, and the water the way it 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: lies here is just something incredible. It's like a washing machine. 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: It just does not let you get into a rhythm. 63 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: So if you can picture trying to swim that distance 64 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: of time, that length of time and that distance and 65 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: just every stroke is a fight. It really really made 66 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: me meet a couple of my demons and I had 67 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 3: to push to all kinds of limits to get it done. 68 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: But you know, as always with these things, I had 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: a support team alongside you swim alongside a boat. I 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: had two boats, some locals from the island and Howard 71 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: James from Open Water Africa. And then of course my 72 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: partner Lee, who made sure I stayed on the straight 73 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: and arrow and kept moving and didn't let me get 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: too much inside my head. I pushed on through. I'm 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: elated to have it done and I've still got a 76 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 3: week on the island to explore. But my body is broken, broken, broken. 77 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: Thanks all and have a wonderful weekend. Cape Talkers. 78 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: That is Ryan stram Rude, and once again a massive, 79 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: massive congratulations to Ryan. That is where I'm going to 80 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: leave things for this morning. Enjoy your Saturday, and i'll 81 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: be back again tomorrow.
