Hi Fellow Sailors,
I am busy compiling a set of "Cruising Notes" covering the various sailing routes in the South Indian Ocean, from both Australia to Southern Africa, and S. Africa to Australia. Included is weather info, timing, routes, expected conditions, Islands, immigration requirments, etc. I have personally transitted the Indian twice, and cruised extensivly in the Mozambique Channel. What I need however, is any recent info on formalities at the various Islands, and anchorages at the Islands I havn't visited...Christmas, Rodrigues and Chagos, or details of any recent changes. Any personal experiences of the crossing would be very much appreciated. Has anyone any photos that I could use in this guide?. I would be only too happy to give a credit in this proposed book, to anyone contributing.

Over 400 circumnavigating yachts a year are now taking the (Cape of Good Hope) route.

Thanks, in advance
With regards,
Tony Herrick

Can give info on Rottnest Island but as that is only 15 miles off Perth - maynot be what you are seeking.
