A fairly large number of Saldanha-based trawlers were forced to take shelter in Table Bay this week because of the high winds at sea. According to port officials the vessels were all wooden pelagic catchers and their skippers had indicated that the off-shore area between Saldanha and Cape Town had been hammered by south-easterly winds of up to 70 knots. Table Bay itself was lashed by a gale with gusts of up to 55 knots.

Snoek run: the snoek boats are moving with the early morning sun because large shoals have moved in on the Peninsula's Atlantic coastline. Catches of up to 500 fish a boat are being made. Prices have dropped from R3 for a snoek early this week to R1,40. The boats have been working along the coast from Clifton to Slangkop. Fishermen say it could be one of the best snoek seasons in years.
