Nathaniel se raad vir haai-aanvalle die Desembervakansie
Om te voorkom dat 'n haai u byt, doen die volgende: Wenk nommer 1 : Moenie in die see swem nie. Ongeveer 100% van alle haai aanvalle gebeur in groot watermassas, beter bekend as DIE SEE. Proe aan die water. As dit soos sout smaak en as dit branders het, is jy in die see. Draai om en gaan le liewers ...

Banner Towing
Is it possible to tow a banner behind a Microlight? A modification on the propeller hub maybe? I've seen a vidoe clip of microlights towing hangliders and then the glider releases the towing rope. Any ideas?
