Well…Des Cason<\/strong> said….”This is about as good as it gets and would not delay departure !”…in his email to us a few days. Des Carson is a weather router for most of the Indian Ocean. He does not get paid for his services and does it out of his own kindness and love for the cruisers. He has sailed these waters for many years and lived in Madagascar for I believe 14 years. Now established in South Africa, every year he routes sailors through out these unforgiving waters from as far away as Indonesia all the way to Cape Town, South Africa. This was the first passage we used Des, though we made contact with him over 6 months ago, and as he said….it’s time to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
