Gone With The Wind In Madagascar

About the Book

Set sail with Avril and Don on ‘Gone With The Wind’ to discover the exquisite and little-known paradise of Madagascar, lying some 300 miles off the east coast of Africa. Explore its western shores, reefs and off-lying islands. Meet its endearing people with their strange and primitive way of life. Encounter nature at its most weird and wonderful.

The armchair sailor will find here an entertaining adventure yarn. The serious cruiser or traveler preparing to visit Madagascar will find much to whet the appetite and a good deal of practical information. As well as an appendix giving a background sketch of Madagascar, there is an extensive bibliography, and lists of pilot books, British and US charts, yacht charter companies and other useful contacts, including website and e-mail addresses.
