@@rogergurr9090 thanks for the comment Roger. The locals at Iranja are a bit camera tired since so many tourists come to their island. The other issue we had was my limited french. No one speaks english, so we barely get past hellos and maybe we anchor near your island. I hope to better my french and come back to Madagascar one day.

@@rogergurr9090 You'll find answers to some of your questions in the French online magazine Voiles&Voiliers, because I've been sailing in Madagascar for a long time and I write articles. Just Google ‘trimaki Voiles et voiliers’ and you'll come across many articles I've written. As far as customs are concerned, since the Covid epidemic, things have become very complicated, even to the point of banning foreign sailboats. It's very difficult to get clear, reliable information. To avoid problems, I've registered my trimaran in Madagascar and I can travel freely. Naturally, it's impossible for visiting sailboats.

Poor Chagosinians -they were told by the Poms they would be taken shopping to the Seychelles - and then kicked off their islands so the Yanks could build an airbase to bomb the world - so much for human rights and democracy..
