All my brothers and my father went hunting on a farm near Kimberley in the Northern Cape. Louis represented the Kosmos Steyls and managed to shoot a nice Blesbuck which is currently as I am writing being turned into Biltong in Bloemfontein.
Juanita is by far the busiest - on a trip covering the length of Africa - several times. She went from Lanseria to Kigali in Rwanda on to Germany for a few days then Rome then back to Kigali. She is now in Malawi and still has to go to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia back to South Africa and the to New York before the end of September.
Last week On Thursday night the skies over Johannesburg was full of Steyl Pilots. Johan Jr. came into Johannesburg flying freight from Windhoek. Louis brought a patient down from Harare and me myself flew 22 Tons of freight from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
On Friday I spent the day in Cape Town and was privileged to meet Tyla the grand daughter of Johan and Susan Steyl at a lovely lunch at their home in Newlands Cape Town.
Then on the week end the start of summer was celebrated with the seasons opening cruise on the Dam, a very spectacular event in which approximately 200 powerboats all cruise around the lake past the various boat and yacht clubs and then light the fires for the traditional braais at their own club grounds.
Tonight I am on standby to fly but if I don't get called out the plan is to take the Intruder for a spin to the Eastern Free State with my cousin Leon on his GS 1200 BMW.
