The crew of the 18-ton vessel Nandji - Frothlyfe clears into Nosy Be, Madagascar, after a passage from Reunion Island.0:04 Upon arrival in Crater Bay, the boat snaps a borrowed mooring line due to heavy swell and the vessel's weight, prompting the crew to anchor in sandy mud with 75 meters of chain. Local technicians in Nosy Be successfully repair the boat's generator by re-soldering a shorted circuit board and replacing a relay, a task that remained unresolved in Reunion. The crew also arranges for a local sail loft to repair their mainsail. While exploring the area, the crew observes traditional Malagasy dhows, which utilize single triangle sails and easterly winds to transport construction materials to the island. The crew notes the necessity of carrying large quantities of local currency, the Ariary, due to low-denomination ATM withdrawals. The experience highlights the local capacity for mechanical repair and the prevalence of traditional sailing vessels in the region.
