Sailing a Pirogue in Madagascar- Sailing SV Delos Ep. 99
Sailing in Madagascar isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of life for the local people! With our time winding down we prepare Delos to sail to South Africa to escape the coming cyclone season. On our way we take our Friend Florent to a remote village to check out a pirogue he’s building. The village is very traditional and specialize in building the sailing pirogues we are so fascinated with. After making friends with a few of the locals they take us sailing on thei pirogue and we reciprocate by giving them a ride on Delos. They have never seen a yacht before and it blows their minds 🙂
Just wanted to mention that most of the music from this video was actually recorded *LIVE* in Madagascar by some very cool people we met at parties and such. Links at the *BOTTOM* of the description. Peace and Love to you all and thanks so much for your support! Brian
This is our story, a story of three souls sailing around the world. It is a story about sailing, but it’s also a story about the fantastic people we meet and amazing places we see. It’s a story of people living their lives in an alternate way, in close connection with the beautiful people and amazing planet that we call home. Our experience has affected us so profoundly we want to share it, hoping that others may find inspiration to follow their dreams and do what they love.
