Just two globetrotting nomads trying to see as much of the world as possible

Not a bad idea. Watched it 4 or 5 times already. Last time was about 4 years ago. I've run out of things I want to watch so think I'll do the same.

Here's the wiki link to False Bay. The town of Strand and Gordon's Bay are located to the top right of False Bay if you look at the images of False Bay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Bay

This is on the False Bay coast. False bay faces towards the south. The Atlantic ocean (cold) is on the western coast and the Indian ocean (warm) is on the eastern side of False Bay.

The oceans supposedly meets at Cape Point and if you go by that assumption then False Baby lies in the Indian ocean.

The oceans however meets over a much larger extended area around Cape Agulhas which is about 300km to the east of False Bay so Fakse Bay is 'more' in the Atlantic than in the Indian ocean.

Because of this the water is almost just as cold as on the water on the Atlantic coast.

Cape Agulhas by the way is also the most southerly point on the African continent so most agree this is where the oceans really meet.

Not really, the name of the beach is Melkbaai in both English and Afrikaans. A direct translation would be Milk Bay Beack yes.

For interest, the town's name is Strand which is the Afrikaans word for Beach. So if you litraly translate it all it's Milk Baby Beach in the town of Beach.

I also mainly use Primal but as you say, not as great these past couple of weeks. Unfortunately from personal experience Primal seems to be the best web client. Second place I'll give to Flycat.

Saw somewhere that Coracle had some big updates so might be much better now.

Night everyone from a cold Southern Hemisphere. Almost time to swap our winter for the summer in the north.

Strand main beach with the town of Gordon's Bay in the far distance.

One of the most stunning routes to drive in South Africa is along the road running at the bottom of those mountains. You start in the town of Gordon's Bay (on the left) and drive all the way to Hermanus.

See map below.
