Shark Siren at Muizenberg Beach, Cape Town Travel Video Vlog

Sometimes, nothing goes according to plan.
We should of been on Table Mountain making a video, but the visibility was down to about 600 meters from sea level so climbing was out out of the question.
Instead, we decided to make a quick "board meeting". The best kind ever, the one that is out at sea, in Muizenberg.
We were rudely interrupted by the shark siren at Muizenberg. The white shark flag was raised and 100+ people had to get out of the water for 20 minutes.
But all in all it was a great day.
Not the paying kind of productive day but life got in the way and that's great.
Sometimes life hands you lemons and you make lemonade.

Enjoy the little mock surf contest with Cass Collier :-P

Great video! I had a close shave once at Muizenburg - we paddled so far our we couldn't hear the siren. After what must have been around 10 mins, we looked back to shore and saw hundreds of people waving at us, and we quickly realised there was a shark in the water. Never paddled so hard in my life

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31

[TheViolinRoom]

I was in the water on my board at Muizzies once when the siren went off about 2 years ago. Was a scary experience as it was my first time experiencing it and I actually didn't know what the siren was for until I witnessed everyone pulling back to the shore and quickly got a wave back to the beach.

[kytrco]

I went there once and ai went to the top of the hill by the the spotters and we heard the siren and saw a shadow in the water

[TheFoxVampire]

Wow, I never knew there were places that use sirens to warn of approaching sharks... 🦈

[SmokeFire]

It's amazing how the Muizenberg waves have changed since the sixties, seventies and eighties - they are little baby waves now. In those days, they had to separate the swimmers and the surfers after some nasty accidents. The riptides and currents were very strong, with some massive backwash, and no sharks ever ventured into the wave lines, where it could go from ankle height to over your head in seconds. Many was the time we would brace ourselves against the waves pulling back, our feet sinking deeper into the sand. We were regularly swept under the bathing boxes by monster waves, rolling and tumbling you like a washing machine, that you thought your lungs would burst, and the pleasure of shooting out and grabbing some air, then having to dive back under the next monster! Body surfing was fantastic too - perched on the edge of a six footer, you had to decide whether to pull back, or take that plunge, hoping for an exhilarating ride, and not a faceful of sand! We would eventually stagger out of the water with our costume crotches dragging down with all the sand from being rolled and tossed by the waves!

The one annoying thing about muizenberg is that it's a really far paddle out 😂
