Indian Ocean: Arrival in Port Louis, Mauritius

11/03/07
Port Louis, Mauritius


I arrived in Port Louis this morning after crossing the Indian Ocean in less than 2 weeks from Cocos.

However, there is a storm brewing south of Madagascar with 50 -60 knots winds.

I was going to stay here only 2 nights just to catch up on some needed rest. but now I am going to wait for the storm to pass south of me and Madagascar before heading for Durban South, Africa.

That may be 4 or 5 more days but I think it is worth the time in order not to risk anything. I like my boat and what I'm doing, so I don't want to ruin it by rushing into a storm.
