Thanks again Dietmar, with your advice also - I am making some headway on groundwork for my investigations.
I don't yet have my skippers licence, but I get out to sea as often as possible when visiting South Africa - so I will work towards getting this either in Mauritius or South Africa.
In the meantime it will have to be paddleski, jetski or charter
Please keep an eye out for any suitable accomodation leads; and I will watch this forum as you recommend.
Hope the sun visits again soon!
Kind regards
Ken
