India: There is a new pre-arrival procedure in place for yachts entering India.

All yachts are now required to provide a Pre-Arrival Notification of Security (PANS), which must be sent least 96 hours prior arrival at a Port of Entry. Use of an agent is also now mandatory which has increased entry costs.

Seychelles: A good review has been posted, for hauling out and having work done in Mahe, Seychelles, by Jane Halling who has a 55ft monohull and had repair work done in August 2024.
