YACHT SEEROSE

The sailing yacht SEEROSE, a 44' Barens Seatrader steel ketch, was our home for 5 adventurous years. We cruised the Indian Ocean Islands and visited Mozambique, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Phuket (Thailand) and Langkawi (Malaysia). This is a narrative of our cruising life aboard.

CRUISING AND SAILING EAST AFRICA, THE INDIAN OCEAN ISLANDS AND SOUTH EAST ASIA

This chronicles our experiences whilst cruising aboard our 'home', Yacht Seerose, a 44' Barens Seatrader steel ketch, for five wonderful years. We reversed the "Cape of Good Hope (Cape Town) Cruising Route" and sailed from Durban, South Africa up the East African coast (Mozambique Channel, Tanzania, the mystical Zanzibar Island and Kenya), and then across the Indian Ocean to Phuket, South East Asia where we cruised for several years in the region. 

INDIAN OCEAN SAILING AND CRUISING 

The East coast of Africa is a fascinating sailing area but sadly, not a region explored by many cruisers. We chose to sail up the East African side of the Mozambique Channel, sailing close inshore to escape the south flowing current, rather than the Madagascar coast and consequently discovered a whole new world rarely visited by cruising yachts.

We sold the yacht in 1998 - a decision we shall always regret. Hopefully, through this website, you will share our experiences and enjoy our memories of when we sailed the Indian Ocean and islands on yacht 'Seerose'.

Please sign our GUESTBOOK - we would love to know that you are interested in sailing around East Africa & the Indian Ocean islands and that you visited this website.

Announcement: My loving wife Sally (the Admiral) tragically passed away in 2009. She underwent relatively minor surgery but never recovered after 14 days in ICU. She was deeply loved by all who knew her and will definitely be sailing amongst the clouds now - making everyone around her smile and laugh. She was the greatest navigator ever - at sea and in life! Fair winds "Paulie"! - Bob
