==Description==
The Cape of Good Hope ([[South Africa]]) cruising route is a wonderful alternative to transitting the [[Gulf of Aden]] and [[Red Sea]], particularly during these troubled times (2008). Rather see the [[Maldives]], glorious [[Chagos]], beautifull [[Seychelles]], [[Mayotte]], [[Madagascar]], the atolls in the [[Mozambique Channel]] and to crown it all, throw in some shore excursions to the renowned Safari Parks in [[South Africa]]. Stock up the boat with the fantastic South African wines in [[Cape Town]] (''the "fairest Cape of all"'') before onward passage across the Atlantic Ocean.

South East Asia to Cape Town

Description

The Cape of Good Hope (South Africa) cruising route is a wonderful alternative to transitting the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea, particularly during these troubled times (2008). Rather see the Maldives, glorious Chagos, beautifull Seychelles, Mayotte, Madagascar, the atolls in the Mozambique Channel and to crown it all, throw in some shore excursions to the renowned Safari Parks in South Africa. Stock up the boat with the fantastic South African wines in Cape Town (the "fairest Cape of all") before onward passage across the Atlantic Ocean.

Yachts leaving Thailand often congregate in Nai Hahn Bay on the Southern Tip of Phuket/wiki/South_East_Asia_to_South_Africa#.5B.5BPhuket.5D.5DIsland icon Phuket [[South East Asia to South Africa#Phuket|Phuket]] 08°01.922'N, 098°20.317'E , then take off from there to the Maldives.
