Cosa tratta questo video
Jacqueline and Gerard leave their 45-foot yacht, Avanti, on a mooring ball in Crater Bay, Madagascar, to travel overland to the kite surfing destination of Sakalava.0:58 They choose local bush taxis over private transfers or flights to reduce costs, paying 8 euros per person for a 12-hour, 350-kilometer journey to Diego Suarez.2:21 The bus carries 26 passengers, two infants, and livestock.2:31 Sakalava Bay features a compression zone that produces consistent winds between 25 and 35 knots, providing flat, shallow water and a reef break.4:21 Because their own kites are degraded, they rent new gear from a local school.4:27 The crew leaves Avanti unattended for three days, relying on neighbors and local guardians in Crater Bay to monitor the vessel.6:56 They conclude the trip by returning to Nosy Bay via bush taxi, noting that overland travel in Madagascar requires significant patience and flexibility.8:48
