Re: Coastal, offshore, Caribean, Blue Water, Circumnavigation

Re: Coastal, offshore, Caribean, Blue Water, Circumnavigation

Re: Coast of Vietnam

Many thanks to both of you, I have ordered the SE Asia Pilot, looking forward to its arrival. The article by Jack Van Ommen makes very interesting reading. On the face of it, it seems that Vietnam is...

Coast of Vietnam

As far as I can make out, there are not a lot of cruisers visiting the northern coast of south Vietnam. Maybe I am just not looking in the right places.

Re: Hit and Run in St Maarten

Thanks for the info boatman, a friend of mine was asking me about them and I had to confess that I knew nothing about them. He was going to look at one that was up for sale in Durban, I think it is.
