| Thoughts on Crossing the Southern Indian Ocean
Does anyone out there have experience with crossing the Indian Ocean from Australia to South Africa? With the pirate problems in Somalia, we're considering changing our route to use the Cape of Good Hope instead (transiting next year). My concern is the large, confused seas, especially near the south tip of Madagascar. Am I worried about nothing? What about a route that passes from the Seychelles to South Africa along the east coast of Africa or west coast of Madagascar? Our boat is a 1990 Privilege 39 catamaran. Thanks.
