Trading to EAT in remote Madagascar | Sailing MADAGASCAR... Ep 385

This has been said by many world cruisers as the highlight of their lap around the world... www.sailingnandji.com
When we first arrived to Madagascar we sailed direct to our clearance port of Hellville in Nosy Be. This happens to be 100 miles south from the northern tip and meant we sailed past some spectacular looking islands which we wanted to check out. Therefore we are heading north to the
Mitsio archipelago to see what we missed!
Heading north means returning to the stronger solar winds and closer to the northern tip where the wind often rips at 50 plus knots and therefore we have to decide where to anchor very carefully.
It must be Protected in the afternoon westerly yet hidden from the morning easterly as the wind changes direction through the night.
We study the charts and scroll through satellite images to find anchorages and 9 out of 10 times we are successful, but there is always that chance…

I love watching Marley leaping off the tender and swimming ashore with gusto, then doing *_Beach Zoomies._*

[@CemeteryShop-yg6gi]

He’s living the best dog life ever. 😅 🐕

[@chrisclarke3670]

Beautiful place and beaches you are visiting now. Such a great way to grow up for your daughter.

[@cutaway7405]

Wow what a Beauty place!! The water, sand and Boab trees are Amazing!! Lula you swim like a mermaid, Great job!! Yay the Girls!! We Love seeing Marley dive in after hearing the OK!! Bonita, you're Rockin that hand stand walk!!! You are such a Beauty married to a Handsome gent and have a smart Lovely daughter and cool dawg!!! Go Guys Go!!!❤❤❤❤

[@MICHAELMEREDITHSR]

Nice job little family! Two of my favorite memories were learning to ride a bike & learning how to swim. Well Done with your daughter regarding the latter. 🙏🦉 🏞️

[@michelebushnik2874]

I'm 61 now, but when I was a little one like Tallulah, I fell deeply in love with a tiny lemur from pictures in encyclopedia britannica that was called a Tarsier❤ it said they live in Madagascar. I pray you see one, Google it, as I believe you will be enthralled as I was at a child. Tiny little thing with huge eyes❤ I saw your sighting of a chameleon last week, and was overwhelmed with what you can find again. Your underwater video is so epic! Esp with Tallulah along! Happiest New Year 2025 ever!always love you all! PS Marley: good boy, nice digging sand holes❤

[@PedroThai]

hooly bloody doolie, great vlog, a bit of everything, really enjoyed it over a few cheeky ones, fair winds

[@robertnixon3816]

With places like that it is easy to see why you all sail! Madagascar continues to Surprise with its good people, beauty and gorgeous water. The vibe is a lot like the Menitawies. What a water person that Tallula is turning in to! Appears very comfortable in and on the water! Enjoy!

[@Harrosan]

As an Aussie who crew up by the ocean but now finds himself watching this episode from my crane cab while it’s -15c here in Canada I gotta say I’m pretty envious of you guys right now. Love the African leg of your journey and keep living the dream well! 🎉

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Our journey also begun from a crane cabin! As I was a rigger/crane driver 🤘

[@SuperKeylight]

Nice nice nice! Thank you for this sailing episode ,.)

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends!!!! Thanks for sharing another great video. Madagascar definitely looks like a sailing bucket list destination. Get on and have a great day! Yew!

[@victorbitter583]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all aboard the good ship Nandji 2.0. Geez Lula took to swimming like a duck to water eh. Great little kicker. I was all arms when I swam lol. cheers.

[@ianprice2298]

It’s the color and clarity of the water that’s amazing.

[@gregmason2208]

I have been watching and loving your videos for years as a fellow Sth Australian. Great that you have finally left Indonesia. It would be very helpful and would get you better deals if you would research the language of the countries you are about to visit. Just need to learn very basic greeting and basics. Wow. Tallulah has grown and she looks so healthy. I love to see Mali leap of the boat and swim ashore. He must love the exercise after the confines of the boat. Take care and see if you can find some Lemurs. Fascinating animals.

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

We learnt French for 4 months before coming here so we do know the basics, beyond that we struggled. A lot of people outside the city in Madagascar don’t speak French but only their traditional language. Even our French crew members struggled to communicate in Madagascar. The north part of the country struggle to communicate with those from the south, it’s a challenging country.

[@gregmason2208]

@@FrothLyfeSailingNandji That's great. I have traveled the world a lot and to some far out places and so I understand the difficulties when dealing with rare languages. It's good fun though. I presume you realize how lucky you are to be doing what your are doing even though it takes a lot of work and planning. Best of luck to the 4 of you.

[@mikedeakin6842]

I always look forward to your next video and, of course, to seeing Lula's adventures in the surf.

[@saylaveenadmearedead]

So many blessings in ocean living!

[@mickeyh53]

Definitely worth spoiling Whippys..the love you get back in return is always special..really enjoying these videos guys stay safe…

[@s7evendwn]

A much as I dig your adventures, my highlights are when Marley are in them

[@sailingsjofagel]

What a wonderful education you are giving, and getting. It looks really lovely out there. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@jefffuller6683]

Great video and Squid equals Calamari ❤

[@marktracey387]

Another great episode Nandjis ...Best regards. Marley is getting close to running on beaches halfway round the planet 😀⛵️

@20:55 Gold, Marley! Gold!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! Alway like to see footage of 'Lula. Beautiful place you're visiting. 🎉Happy New Year!🎉 And safe journey. ❤

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Thank you! Epic vids from Madagascar! These are some of your best.

[@highvibe4839]

What a Happy New Year you three are having, so happy for you that you made it out of Asia to go on exploring other beautiful countries. I was hoping you would have visited Cocos Keeling Island, a little bit of Aussie paradise. Never mind, more places to go and people to see.. stay safe you look so happy currently.

[@StephEvans-p3m]

Thank you, another amazing vid, happy days 👏👍❤️

[@kennethodette1352]

Your dog and compass are my fav. boat dogs!

Love to watch your family's adventures!! 🤗💞

[@griptopia]

Madagascar !! the moment i hear that word i think of king julian waving his hands around with that dead hand!! have a lovely time :)

[@johnmalenchek6597]

Never knew Bonita was a tree hugger! Beautiful island. Thanks for the tour.

[@highvibe4839]

She’s grounding herself and if she has indigenous bloodline ancestry as I suspect, she’s already tuned in much more than most of us, what a beautiful sight, and a beautiful woman overall.

[@JG-gx5ro]

Another great vid, thx! Cheers!

great update. Love these

[@nightskydancer]

Incredible episode guys!

[@theoceandragonfly]

Those Boebob trees I not sure that's how you spell that trees name they are awesome. It was kind of you to touch and hug the tree. After all Madagascar is the only place and maybe surrounding islands you might find them and they are a special type of tree's. 😊 It's so great you got to trade. It's great the four of you got out and enjoyed your selves. I am glad marlie got to run and have fun. He's a great furbaby. 😊

[@phyllisfouche4391]

We have plenty Baobab trees in South Africa and Namibia. In the rest of Africa as well.

[@highvibe4839]

We also have some in Australia, dotted around in mostly secluded locations, but predominantly in W.A. We spell them as Boab, some call them bottle trees due to their shape, amazing trees that grow to be very old.. The spelling doesn’t matter, we all know what they look! 👍

[@phyllisfouche4391]

@@highvibe4839 It is spelled Baobab. Google it.

[@murrat]

Wonderful episode.

[@Kevinplettenbergbay]

One day..... All families will be made this way...... Awesome...

[@pamelarw58]

Happy New Year Froth Family & as usual some wonderful sailing in 2025! Trading squid & fish was fantastic yum! 😋 There might have been a language barrier but good trade 😊 Tallula has grown quite a bit since last time I watched your Vlogs, how old is she now? 💜💙💖

[@giebateaugieb126]

Hi Josh & Bonita Welcome to my home city. I regret I missed the meet and greet yesterday.😢 I hope the local yachting community are assisting you with your needs. If I can assist in any way please give me a call I will gladly assist. How long are you in EL? If possible I would like to catch up. Cheers Neil

[@petes9524]

"Bay-oh" trees folks. Baobab.. 😊

I can assure you that you don't have to worry about the Crocodiles and Hippos, they're in the nature reserves, but can't say the same about the Sharks 🤣🤣🤣

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Please explain the hippos walking the streets of St Lucia then 😂

[@earthangel8730]

[@Toffie10]

With all the technologies in the world and all of the new inventions, I can not beleive that some enviromental enginneer never came up with a patent that no sealife are growing on the hull of any boat. There must be a solution.

[@tomas5376]

Have you ever thought about getting a hookah? Great for breathing while bottom cleaning

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

Yes sure have! Space is always the dilemma. Plus I really like free diving so it is always good practice
