Synopsis

The Cape Doctor is a persistent and dry wind that blows on the South African coast from September to March. A local belief says that it cleans Cape Town of pollution and pestilence.

While the Cape Doctor is good for city dwellers, it also significantly impacts tourism by attracting windsurfers and kite surfers from all walks of life.

Antoine pays a visit to the mythical Cape of Good Hope, which made the sailors suffer the whims of its changing winds.
