Speaking to the Kerala yachting Ass. they had BIG plans.... Looking at it today, NOTHING is realised as usual in India. Forget to find ANYTHING here exept what you have on board and some helping people. There is an anchorage, water on the shore with cans, diesel and INDMERC, George Pottamkulam for technical assistance, tel 91 944 651 6436.

No Haul out or yard facilities, despite maybe what you heard.
