Qué cubre este vídeo
Avanti and her crew, Gerard and Jacqueline, transit the west coast of Madagascar from Hellville to the Radama Islands.0:14 After an overnight stop in Russian Bay, the crew motors 50 nautical miles to Nosy Iranja, where a sandbar connects two islands at low tide.1:41 Because Nosy Iranja lacks protection from the swell, the crew moves five miles to Honey River, a river-mouth anchorage where locals sell raw honey.4:19 The crew notes that Navionics charts for the region are inaccurate, showing depths of 23 meters where the actual depth is 45 meters, and failing to display reefs visible on satellite imagery.10:28 Passage planning along the coast requires accounting for 3-to-4-meter tides and daily wind shifts between morning easterlies and afternoon westerlies.8:35 The crew advises using satellite imagery alongside electronic charts when navigating the area.10:57
