I believe so. Looks very nice.

Cocos yesterday. 15- 20 knots SE all day. This was West Island

Looks fantastic moz

Thanks for pics Moz.

Some people get it tough.

Coronation Beach - you can drive there. You take every bit of gear with you. You camp cheaply.
Cocos Keeling islands - you fly there. Warm water. You are in a tropical paradise.

Warm water.

OK. What's the catch? Nothing is that perfect.

Time and/or money.

Cost+time for driving East to West is significant. But then so is flying to a tropical island.

I have been going to Coronation Beach for 3-months over summer, while working remotely; every year now for about 10yrs. In a good summer, you can sail everyday for months; in a very bad summer it is still > 50% of the time. Its my holy place.

I cant speak for Cocos for any real examples because I dont have that experience

Cocos is $$$$$$$ . And you will have to bring your own gear. You need a boat at Cocos to get you to some of the best locations. It's remote and not much in the way of luxuries
