The Tanga Yacht Club

Mike and his family are members of the Tanga Yacht Club. No, it's not the aristocratic place you are picturing. Yachts do indeed moor in the nearby cove, but it's a bit more humble than what you are picturing.

There's not many familiar "western" forms of leisure in Tanga. The yacht club offers decent meals and a very tiny beach.

And yes, the commodores (club directors) go back to 1941.
