All Yachts are directed to the Baie de Han anchorage (see cautionary notes above). The anchorage is somewhat roly - particularly with a SW wind, as the swell is refracted around the headland and ends up at right angles to the wind.
Here there are two yacht clubs. However, the club ADP is no longer active and it is more or less mandatory to use the services of the Club CVD.
There are three uncharted wrecks (epaves) situated in the approach to Club CVD. See positions above.
The entrance to the Casamance river is 130 nautical miles south of Dakar.

We visited Dakar in November 2015 and found that the information in the RCCPF guide to West Africa was fairly accurate. We found that the immigration/police officers no longer are holding ship’s document, but did make a photocopy of it. No officials asked us for bribes, and we found the whole procedure fairly straightforward, if a bit slow as we had to wait until the following afternoon for the customs official to be in the office. In November 2015, the club ADP did not appear to be very active – their dock was ruined and no yachts were anchored or moored nearby, and all activity seemed to be taking place at CVD.
