Madagascar

  • East Coast,  Fort Dauphin,  Madagascar

    Peek into Poverty

    Wow! Madagascar has been quite the roller coaster. It has both exceeded all expectations and been hugely disappointing.

    The sail South from Ile St. Marie was really quite idyllic. We hopped from one beautiful anchorage to the next for the first few days and spend two nights anchored in the lee of a gorgeous offshore reef that was reminiscent of Beveridge and Minerva. Perhaps naively, we didn’t expect to find such places in Madagascar.

    Aye Aye!

    I recall having a conversation with Alex just over three years ago, before the start of this voyage, basically pleading with him to add Madagascar to our destination list. It’s a country that has always fascinated me and somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, mainly due to its abundance of highly unusual wildlife.
