On the 9th of November 2007 Simon Osborne and Philip Clegg set off to attempt to circumnavigate Madagascar by Sea Kayak.  Due to visa restraints and work commitments they have split the challenge into two parts.  On the 10th of Jan 2008 the first part was successfully completed.  Their expedition started in Majunga on the north west coast.  From there they paddled on calm seas island hopping all of the way to the most northerly point.  When they rounded the top corner the seas and the environment changed.  The Indian Ocean swell mixing with the coral reefs and sandy beaches.  Throughout the expedition the locals gave them a warm and inquisitive welcome.  To get an idea of the expedition please have a look at the gallery and their Blog.  They are both looking forward to heading back next winter to complete the challenge.
