Ah Barry, I think that subject line should be spelt "New Zealand"

  I have the same dilemma but at least it is a more equal choice starting in
  South Australia.
  As time goes on East is better later in the year for me.
>From Melbourne it's a hard slog to sail west
  You could still visit Chagos and the Seychelles after Mauritius. and then
  call into Kenya.
  The question then is Red sea or Cape of Good hope?

  Hi Scott And the list.

  We are based in South Australia and are heading off shortly (we hope) on a
  long cruise. One point of endless discussion is whether to go east or west.

  East has its attractions because we have a lot of friends in the Pacific NW
  area and a journey along the route you mentioned would have us in that part
  of the world in the quickest time. West is attractive because, to a large
  extent, we'd have not too many head winds.

  The downer about going East is that we would then (after being to Europe)
  be heading east across the Indian Ocean so we would probably miss places
  like Chagos and the Seychelles - but we would get to visit Madagascar and
  Mauritius.

  Still, c'est la vie, so many islands and oceans, so few years.

  We bwill go slightly south and a lot east, then north to the Tahiti area,
  then to Hawaii, then the North end of Vancouver Is. , then through the
  inside passage to Seattle, then offshore to San Francisco, then home.
