Avanti and her crew, Gerard and Jacqueline, transit the northwestern coast of Madagascar, traveling approximately 50 nautical miles from Crater Bay to the Mitsio islands.0:41 Light winds necessitate motoring for the 10-hour passage.0:51 Upon arrival, the crew encounters dense swarms of jellyfish, which prevent swimming unless wearing protective long-sleeved gear.2:54 The crew sources fresh langoustines from local fishermen for dinner.3:08 Daily weather patterns in this region feature morning Easterlies that shift to strong afternoon Westerlies, which subside at sunset.11:34 The crew plans short-range day trips to nearby islands for snorkeling, noting that many anchorages in the area are too rolly for overnight stays.3:45 They utilize the lee of islands to manage wind shifts and plan a night passage back to Crater Bay to avoid the afternoon Westerlies.11:40 During the stay, the crew samples a 5.8% alcohol pale ale from Red Island Brewing, which they discard due to excessive sediment and a sour, off-flavor profile.8:31
