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..
