HISTORY
The Legend of the Breede River
The mouth of the Breede River is a fascinating and beautiful location with a treacherous sandbar, wide natural vistas, and sleepy holiday villages on each side of the river mouth. There's an additional frisson of excitement knowing that bull sharks use the Breede River and must be passing by all the time.
Our rally pays homage to the SS Kadie, a steam-assisted sailing ship integral to the area's history. Built in Scotland in 1859 specifically for navigating the Breede River and coastal trading, she even carried a cargo of ostriches to Mauritius on one memorable voyage.
The Kadie and the Barry family who operated her represent the adventurous spirit that defines our rally - exploring treacherous waters, discovering hidden treasures, and creating lasting bonds with fellow adventurers.
