It
was sad to leave Reunion and the wonderful people we had met in our
time here, but the weather looked good for a fast passage to Ile St
Marie on the east coast of Madagascar.
Our
last week in the marina was spent on final boat preparations, final
checks, weather checks, final shopping, last drinks with friends and
an appointment with Les Douanes (Customs) for our clearance papers.
There is no passport stamping in or out. With our Customs clearance
paper, a passport and our ship registration document we were eligible
to buy duty free diesel and petrol. The regular price for diesel was
around €0.90 and we paid
only €0.60 per litre.
With
the last job done we cast our lines just after sun up on Sunday
morning and motored out of the harbour bound for Madagascar and
another chapter in our wonderful adventure.
