The long drive through the mountains to Swakopmund was exhausting, but the fishing trip at sea was worthwhile – for a rich fish dinner in the evening. The rest of the catch ended up in a large cool box. Ralph flew them freshly caught to Bitterwasser in his Cessna. The croaker, also known as cod in Namibia, are now waiting to be prepared in the lodge's freezer. They are all large adult animals, whose fondness for the pieces of sardine on fishooks was their undoing. The small ones caught, under four inches tall, got a chance to grow further. If they are not pulled out of the sea prematurely, these predatory fish can grow to be over two meters long and weigh 100 kilograms.
In Bitterwasser we are now eagerly awaiting the big fish dinner.
The latest flagship from Jonker Sailplanes, the JS5 Rey, has successfully completed its first flight in Namibia - in the world-famous thermal oasis of Bitterwasser. Thanks to excellent weather conditions, several 1000-kilometer flights have already been achieved.
One of our Arcus M 2.0 gliders has just become available and can be chartered here in Bitterwasser.
Timeframe: December 21, 2024, to January 6, 2025.
