Dan Bower wants 3 crew for Skyelark 2, Oyster 62, m.

From lombok, Indonesia to port louis, Mauritius.

September 2024 to October 2024.

This is the Indian Ocean Leg. 3500 miles of fast broad reach sailing, with big seas and breeze - whilst it's not the Southern Ocean, there isn't any land to the south until Antarctica! It has a different feel to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and we are likely to encounter more challenging conditions - good for kudos points but easily taken in our stride on Skyelark 2! We depart from Lombok on the 22nd September on a 620 mile passage across to Christmas Island, the Jewel of the Indian Ocean. Christmas Island is a territory of Australia and is a wonderful place to enjoy nature at its best. Sometimes referred to as the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean, there are many unusual birds and endemic species of wildlife here whilst the beautiful coral reefs are home to an abundance and diversity of tropical fish. The island is also famous for its large population of red land crabs, their annual migration has been described by ecologists as one of the wonders of the natural world. Sailing on to Cocos Keeling, we will head for Port Refuge on Direction Island. This is a wonderful tranquil bay on an uninhabited island. From there, there is the chance to visit Home Island where around 500 Malay people live. Here you can sample the local spicy cuisine and snorkel or dive in the crystal clear waters. World ARC may also organise some fleet events such as a beach barbeque. From here it's a passage of 2,530 nautical miles across to Mauritius which should take around 14 days. £7995 per person See www.adventuresailing.com for more details
