We Chased a Rumour Down Madagascar | S5 E20

After finally arriving in northern Madagascar, we thought we’d found the perfect place to slow down. Crystal clear water, tiny fishing villages, remote islands and one of the most beautiful anchorages we’ve seen in a long time. But almost as soon as we arrived, a weather window opened to head further south… toward a far less travelled part of Madagascar and a rumour we couldn’t stop thinking about. The problem was… getting there meant leaving paradise almost immediately and committing to another five days at sea. With very little reliable information, constantly shifting coastal winds and the uncertainty that comes with chasing something you’re not even sure exists… we had to decide whether it was really worth it. In this episode we explore Nosy Iranja, check in to Madagascar, and make one of the toughest calls cruisers face so often — stay somewhere beautiful… or keep moving in search of what’s next. Join us as we continue sailing down the wild west coast of Madagascar aboard our Leopard 46 catamaran, Happy Days. ........ 🌊 Join Our Sailing Family Adventure!
