The Seychelles

- Formalities : for EEC citizens and North Americans: valid passport.
- Weather : The best period : All the year round. No hurricanes.
- Cruising : No great difficulties during the day. Navigation is on sight and the buoyage is, for the most part, accurate.
- Languages : English, French, Creole
- Provisions : This is a problem in the Seychelles. All food is imported and therefore (very) expensive. Stock up with enough food at the start of the cruise, as afterwards it is difficult to find supplies…
- Time difference : +2H in summer ; +3H in winter, compared to Paris.
- Money : Seychelles Rupee (+/-0,15 euros). The ‘beach exchange’ is much more advantageous than the banks…but we didn’t say anything!
