Sri Lanka is one country with two coastlines and two monsoon seasons. We follow the wind. The south coast opens from October, the east coast from May, and Colombo sails year-round. Twelve months of open water.

twelve months of open water.
Each region has its own season. We move the fleet with the wind, so there is always open water somewhere on the island.

We follow the wind,
not a schedule.
Sri Lanka has two monsoons, one for each coast. When the south-west monsoon closes Mirissa from May, the north-east trades open Trincomalee and the east coast. Sail Lanka operates both, with the same vessels and crew crossing between them each season.
The result is twelve months of open water. No dead season and no substitute routes, just the same standard of voyage in different water, on a different coast.
