Description:
Dakar is the capital and largest city of Senegal, as well as being the westernmost city on the African mainland.
Baie de Han, where visiting yachts are berthed, is very polluted. Be sure to wash your hands when you have touched the water or a wet line and do not swim around the boat. Mosquitos can be a problem here and cruisers recommend using DEET spray and Malarone. Several Malaria cases have been reported at the Cercle de Voile de Dakar (CVD).
There are three uncharted wrecks (epaves) situated in the approach to the yacht-club (CVD), positions are given on the CVD website and are as follows:
Epave 1: 14°42' 731N 17° 25' 324W
Epave 2: 14° 42' 778N 17° 25' 615W
Epave 3: 14° 42' 754N 17° 25' 717W
Position:
14° 42.57'N, 17° 25.22'W (Baie de Han)
