The ever-helpful South African weather router, Des Cason, has updated his Tanzania Cruising Notes for Noonsite users. Des spent 12 months in Tanzania and is a positive ambassador for the country, highly recommending it as a cruising destination. He comments; "Tanzania has a very docile and easy coastline (unlike Kenya) and should be a must-see on any cruisers' calendar. Less well known as a tourism destination, Tanazania has Mt Kilimanjaro and world-class game viewing to rival its neighbours." Des's notes are extensive, with lots of local tips and detailed anchorage information.

ALL small craft entering South Africa from international waters MUST register online through www.osasa.org.za for pre-arrival authorisation before entering the first Port of Entry. In response to requests from incoming vessels, OSASA's online platform now supports the registration of up to 18 crew at a time.
