Rooikat
Although this is not the same visitor I had it's exactly as I saw him below my house on the Disa River below Bokkemanskloof day before yesterday. DisaKonrad saw him a few minutes later on the river path close to his house. I know it's not crime related but I'm sure he's nabbed a chicken or two in his time and he was equipped with night vision. I'll remove this post in a few days. Last night was quiet, hence this pleasant diversion!Wednesday incident

Fishing trawler towed to safety in difficult, technical rescue operation.
Brad Geyser, NSRI Hout Bay Station Commander said: “At 19h04 NSRI Hout Bay were activated by the National Ports Authority following a request for assistance from the 20 metre, 71 ton fishing trawler, Sulaiman, registered to Kalk Bay harbour and berthed at Hout Bay harbour, reported to be adrift with rope fouled around her propeller, 25 nautical miles South of Cape Point, with 20 crew on-board, in 2 to 3 metre swells and 15 to 20 knot North Westerly winds. “The vessel and her crew reported to be in no imminent danger but in need of assistance with the vessel drifting without engine power due to rope fouled around her propeller.
“The skipper of the vessel had looked at all possibilities to free rope tangled around the propeller but sea conditions were not conducive to any safe option and a rescue was requested.
“NSRI Hout Bay launched our deep sea rescue craft MTU Nadine Gordimer and NSRI Table Bay launched their deep sea rescue craft Spirit of Vodacom while NSRI Simonstown placed their deep sea rescue craft Spirit of Safmarine III on alert.
“A National Ports Authority tug boat was also placed on alert.
“On arrival on-scene, at approximately 22h50, the crew aboard the 2 NSRI rescue craft found all crew aboard Sulaiman safe.
“A tow-line was rigged from the rescue craft Spirit of Vodacom and the casualty vessel was taken under tow and towed towards Hout Bay harbour while the second rescue craft escorted the tow.
“Maritime Radio Services posted an all ships alert via the emergency Maritime VHF Radio Frequency warning other vessels in the area of the rescue operation in progress in order that other vessels steer clear of the difficult and technical towing effort.
“At 05h00 this morning the Sulaiman was safely towed into Hout Bay harbour and berthed.
“No further assistance was required and no injuries to any of the casualty vessel crew was sustained.”

From a Disa resident Friday evening:
As my wife and I were leaving our home for an evening out, I noticed a young bravo male just outside our house, who seemed to be sussing things out on our property. He moved off when he saw me, and went into the bushy area next to the Bokkemans stream. Unfortunately I did not have my radio with me, and therefore took no further action. Stupid me!!! (The guests in our cottage had also left 15 minutes earlier, followed later by my son in his car). Our property was therefore standing empty, and all the departing vehicles made it pretty obvious to any interested observer that this was probably the case.
However, on returning home that night, I did not notice until the next day that my hosepipe was missing from the bracket in my carport, so I only then decided to review my surveillance camera files.
I was pretty shocked to find that the bravo male I had seen earlier on Friday evening had waited about half an hour to make sure we were not coming straight back, and then entered our property through the gap where the XXXXXX enters our property.
He proceeded to slink around our outbuildings, helping himself to whatever took his fancy. Although he spent about 45 minutes on our property, he fortunately did not break into the house. He seemed pretty nervous slinking around, so obviously wasn’t sure if there was still anyone inside the house.
I have some pretty clear pictures of his activities, including the removal of our hosepipe. I guess we were pretty fortunate that he didn’t get away with a lot more.
The point that I am making is that, like most of us, I have obviously become rather complacent about the crime around us, and now realize that this incident could have been a lot worse. The criminals are still very much in our area and are watching our movements to and from our homes on a regular basis.
I will certainly be far more vigilant from now on, and will always make a point of reporting suspicious activities via my HBNW radio, the moment that I see anything.
