SAINT PIERRE, REUNION IS.


Believe it or not this is the entrance to St Pierre harbor. Not for the faint of heart. I'm off to hike the interior of the island this week... I'll take lots of pictures.

REUNION IS. - SOUTH AFRICA NEXT



Ever wonder how a palm tree starts?
It was 1500 nm from Ashmore reef to Cocos Keeling Is., a beautiful atoll in the middle of the Indian Ocean. After a few days at the anchorage off Direction Is. it was back to sea for the 1982 nm sail to Rodrigues Is. 13 days and 5 hours later I was there. During this leg Flyer had her third best day ever... 177 nm. Mauritius was next, only a 2 day sail.
Mauritius is a mountainous island so I decided to go climbing. Next time I'll choose the peak with a trail to the top.








Reunion was an overnight sail from Mauritius. Even more mountainous than Mauritius, Reunion has mankilometers of trail which I am looking forward to. All for now..
