Bon un peu d’entretien et de réparations du bateau, mais n’est-ce pas là aussi des découvertes? Et puis, notre mémoire a déjà commencé à faire le tri!</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <ul> <li> <div align="justify"><strong>Votre endroit préféré?</strong></div> </li> </ul> <p align="justify">Très difficile à dire… Ce fût les <em>Galapagos</em> pour sa faune unique; <em>l’île de Pâques</em> pour son côté  mythique, les <em>Marquises</em> pour l’accueil et la générosité sans limites des gens; la <em>Nouvelle-Zélande</em> pour ses paysages extraordinaires et un <em>Noël</em> mémorable; la <em>Nouvelle-Calédonie</em> pour les superbes plages; les <em>Vanuatu</em> pour le dépaysement; les îles <em>Trobriand</em> pour l’accueil démesuré; <em>Komodo</em> pour les fonds marins incroyables, les <em>Chagos</em> pour l’isolement; l’<em>Afrique</em> pour ses parcs animaliers; voir nos enfants créer des liens si facilement peu importe la couleur et la langue. Bref, chaque escale a sa petite histoire, SON moment qui en fait une escale riche et bien gravée dans nos mémoires. </p> <p align="justify">Et au risque de nous répéter : <strong>Notre planète est belle, mais les gens qui l’habitent sont extraordinaires!</strong> C’est d’abord la gentillesse des gens qui nous a profondément marqués.</p> <p align="justify">TOUT le Pacifique est grandiose!<strong> </strong>  Il n’y a pas de mot pour le décrire;<strong> </strong>les gens, leur accueil chaleureux, les paysages, TOUT fait mal aux yeux!</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <ul> <li> <div align="justify"><strong>De retour après cinq ans, trouvez-vous que les choses ont changé?</strong></div> </li> </ul> <p align="justify">Les bulletins de nouvelles n’ont pas vraiment changés, malheureusement : après la <em>Commission Gomery</em>, c’est maintenant la <em>Commission Charbonneau</em>, problèmes politique, problèmes de criminalité, on se demande encore à tous les jours si nos <em>Glorieux</em> vont faire les séries (quoiqu’ils sont bien partis cette année!). Mais de façon générale, nous n’avons pas le goût d’ouvrir la télévision…</p> <p align="justify">Par contre, l’avancée technologique a fait tout un bond! IPad, tablettes, téléphone intelligent, etc. C’est très impressionnant! D’un autre côté, on met la “pédale douce”; nous connaissons <em>Facebook</em>, sans plus. Ça ne nous intéresse pas pour le moment. La société de consommation dans laquelle nous vivons nous fait peur… C’est si facile d’acheter, acheter, acheter et se créer des besoins. Nous nous posons la question : “En ai-je vraiment besoin?”</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <ul> <li> <div align="justify"><strong>Comment votre voyage vous a-t-il transformés?</strong></div> </li> </ul> <p align="justify">Je pense que nous n’aurons pas assez de notre vie pour mesurer l’ampleur de notre aventure et ses bienfaits.</p> <p align="justify">Nous ne pensons pas avoir changé, mais nous pensons<strong> </strong> avoir grandi!<strong> </strong>nous sommes des êtres qui se connaissent mieux, qui ont développé une grande capacité d’adaptation, qui sont en mesure de mieux gérer leur stress, qui ont un désir profond d’accueillir, de partager et de donner davantage.

Faire face à l’inconnu et surmonter les “imprévus” à tous les jours c’est stimulant, ça nous fait vibrer, mais c’est aussi parfois fatigant et ça nous demande d’être toujours à notre meilleur. Mais au-delà de tout, il y a eu,  à TOUS LES JOURS, de nouveaux lieux à découvrir et de nouvelles personnes à côtoyer, sans oublier l’impression de vivre une expérience extraordinaire avec nos enfants, une belle pause dans nos vies. C’est un énorme privilège de vivre au rythme de sa passion à TOUS LES JOURS! Et c’est ce qui nous a portés tout au long de notre voyage, même à travers les difficultés. Et aujourd’hui, nous savons que c’est un très beau cadeau que nous nous sommes offerts à nous et à nos enfants.</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <ul> <li> <div align="justify"><strong>Voulez-vous repartir?</strong></div> </li> </ul> <p align="justify">Nous devons avouer que, pour le moment, le bateau ne nous manque pas vraiment. Nous avons l’impression d’avoir été au bout de notre aventure et d’avoir vécu notre voyage au maximum.</p> <p align="justify">Notre priorité des prochaines annnées va à la scolarisation de nos enfants tout en savourant ces instants si précieux avec nos familles et amis et en profitant de la facilité et des commodités que nous offrent la vie terrestre.</p> <p align="justify">Sans doute que l’envie de repartir nous prendra… et lorsque ce goût de l’aventure se pointera, un projet de voyage en bateau aura continuer à germer… Un voyage différent, tantôt à frôler les glaces du <em>Groenland</em> et de la <em>Patagonie</em>, tantôt à se réchauffer sous les tropiques; un mélange de “vie-terrestre” et “vie-bateau”.

Elle est connue pour les nombreuses disparitions inexpliquées de bateaux et d'avions dont elle a été le théâtre. </p> <p align="justify">Le cas le plus célèbre concerne les cinq bombardiers américains qui quittèrent <em>Fort Lauderdale</em>, en 1945, pour une mission d'entraînement. Malgré d'excellentes conditions météorologiques, aucun ne regagna la base. L'hydravion parti à leur recherche disparut tout aussi mystérieusement...</p> <p align="justify">Le caractère mystérieux du triangle est renforcé par l'absence d'épave. Les analyses les plus rationnelles mettent l'absence d'épave sur le compte des forts courants et de la profondeur élevée des fonds marins.</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify">Pour nous, rien d’aussi “étrange”!

MAYOTTE, île <em>française</em> de l’<em>archipel des Comores</em>,<em> </em>située entre le continent <em>africain</em> et <em>Madagascar</em>.</div>
<div align="justify">
En 1843, le gouverneur de l’île de la <em>Réunion</em> ordonne la prise de possession de MAYOTTE; vient ensuite un protectorat sur les trois autres îles des <em>Comores</em>. </div>
<div align="justify">
En 1975, les <em>Comores</em> prononcent leur indépendance, mais MAYOTTE, par voie de référendum, désire demeurer territoire <em>français</em>. Depuis, les <em>Comores</em> revendique l’intégralité de l’archipel incluant l’île de MAYOTTE. En 2011, la <em>France</em> met un point final en déclarant MAYOTTE département d’<em>Outre-mer français</em>.</div>

L’archipel de MAYOTTE est composé de deux îles principales (<em>Grande-Terre</em> et <em>Petite-Terre</em>) et de nombreux îlots dont <em>M’tsamboro </em>(ci-dessus), plus grand îlot de MAYOTTE et grand verger de l’île, lui fournissant la majorité de ses agrumes.</div>

<div align="justify">
Les <em>îlots du nord</em> figurent parmi les plus convoités; c’est en effet très joli! Une superbe languette de sable sépare les deux promontoires rocheux de l’îlot <em>Choizil</em>. Spectacle étonnant lorsque, à marée haute, la rudesse océanique rencontre la délicatesse du lagon!</div>

Lors d’une petite marche dans la mangrove à marée basse, nos yeux croisent, entre autres, ces <em>périophtalmes</em>, ces curieux petits poissons respirant par des branchies et par des poumons.

MAYOTTE est également un lieu de passage de beaucoup de navigateurs francophones dont bon nombre de familles. C’est donc dire qu’une belle camaraderie y règne! Nous tentons alors de favoriser au maximum les rencontres d’amis pour nos enfants, d’autant plus que les familles croisées cette dernière année sont rarissimes.</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Quand on lit : “<em>Lorsque les alizés sont bien établis, leur vitesse peut être accélérée, dans la zone critique au nord du Cap d'Ambre, jusqu'à 15-20Knts et les conditions de mer qui en résultent ont été comparées à un chaudron de sorcière depuis déjà des siècles... En plus du vent qui est accéléré lorsqu’il percute la côte de MADAGASCAR, ajouter à cela la rencontre de deux courants sur un haut fond...</em>”</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Je ne me souviens pas avoir été aussi nerveuse qu’à la veille de cette navigation. Depuis des semaines déjà, notre passage du <em>Cap d’Ambre</em> dicte nos escales et notre cadence. Sachant que les alizés sont à leur plus fort en juillet-août, nous évitons de naviguer à cette période.</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Depuis un mois, nos fichiers météos de cette zone à mauvaise réputation indiquent des vents soutenus, jamais sous la barre des 35 noeuds... Or, s’ouvre une fenêtre les 28-29 juin avec des vents diminuant à 15 noeuds. Savez-vous où nous nous trouvions le 28 juin à 7h15?</span></div>

<div align="justify" style="line-height: 18pt; margin-bottom: 9px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Malheureusement, l’abandon économique de MADAGASCAR est en grande partie dû à un gouvernement néfaste pour ses citoyens et ce, depuis plus de 40 ans; à des hommes politiques, avec une soif de pouvoir et une seule envie de détourner les fonds publics à grande échelle.</span></div>

Ils étaient lents et peu craintifs. Dû à leur chair très convoitée et à leur incapacité à voler, ils étaient des proies faciles pour les chasseurs. Mais ils n’ont pas seulement été exterminés par la chasse; leurs oeufs ont été détruits par les animaux domestiques introduits par les <em>Européens</em>, en particulier les chiens et les cochons. La dernière observation d’un <em>Dodo</em> vivant date de 1681 et le <em>Solitaire</em> a disparu vers 1761. </div>

“<em>On peut faire cent pas sans toucher terre tellement il y a de tortues géantes!</em>”</div>

300 000 tortues terrestres géantes couvraient alors les terres de RODRIGUES. Moins d’un siècle plus tard, soit en 1795, les tortues terrestres avaient complètement disparues de la surface de RODRIGUES… l’exploitation humaine et la destruction de leur habitat étant responsables de l’extermination totale de l’espèce. </div>

C’est pourquoi deux espèces similaires<strong> </strong>de tortues terrestres, <em>Aldabra</em> et <em>Radiata</em>, venant respectivement des <em>Seychelles</em> et de <em>Madagascar</em>, ont pu être réintroduites dans un environnement naturel avec 19 hectares de végétation endémique qui recouvrait, à l’époque, la totalité de RODRIGUES. Ces deux espèces ont été favorisées se rapprochant davantage de celles présentes originairement.</div>

À la préhistoire, le volcan du <em>Piton des Neiges</em> culminait à plus de 4000 mètres d’altitude. Son effondrement a créé trois canyons. On leur a donné le nom de <em>cirques</em> en raison de leur aspect circulaire. Situés au coeur de l’île, ils forment, chacun à leur façon, des paysages d’exception.</div>

Au départ de <em>Sri Lanka</em>, nous entreprenons une navigation de 840 milles nautiques (environ 6 jours de mer), qui nous mènera dans l’archipel des CHAGOS. À notre<strong> </strong>5<sup>e</sup> journée, nous sommes confrontés à l’<em>Océan Indien</em> tel que nous le craignons : Inhospitalier! Rapidement, nous luttons contre vents et courant en plus d’être constamment projetés au creux d’une vague venue, sans amortissement, tout droit de l’<em>Antarctique</em>. Ajoutés à cela des grains violants de plus de 45 noeuds de vent. C’en est assez! Louvoyant à travers cet univers hostile, à 180 milles de l’arrivée, soit à une journée de mouiller l’ancre, <em>Ghislain</em> prend la difficile décision de faire demi-tour; nous nous déroutons alors vers les <em>Maldives.</em></div>

Afin de demeurer à jamais maître de ce lieu stratégique et ainsi enrayer la menace, qu’un jour, la population revendique son indépendance, le consortium <em>anglo-américain</em> a expatrié TOUTE la population des CHAGOS … “<em>Think Big!”</em></div>

Le plus beau de tous les cadeaux que les CHAGOS nous ont offert fût le moment où les enfants et moi avons pu nager, en toute liberté, avec une cinquantaine de dauphins juste derrière le bateau. Ils étaient partout : sous nous, à côté de nous, devant nous, alors que nous percevions parfaitement leur cri harmonieux. J’en avais le souffle coupé, je sentais mon coeur vibrer, un mélange de peur et d’excitation! J’avais juste envie de hurler de joie dans mon tuba! À ce moment précis, j’étais convaincue d’être la fille la plus chanceuse au monde! Et de pouvoir partager ça avec mes mousses… quel moment féérique!</div>

Après la “ville bleue”, voici la “ville dorée”! <em>Jaisalmer</em>, surnommée ainsi à cause de ses <em>haveli</em> (habitations traditionnelles richement décorées), son fort et tous ses bâtiments taillés dans le même grès de couleur miel.</div>
<div align="justify">

<div align="justify">
Fondée en 1156, <em>Jaisalmer</em> prospéra grâce à sa position stratégique sur la route des caravances entre l’INDE et l’<em>Asie centrale</em>. Le développement du transport maritime mena au déclin de <em>Jaisalmer</em>. La fermeture des routes commerciales qui traversaient le <em>Pakistan</em> auraient bien pu sceller son sort et la pénurie en eau la conduire à sa mort. Pourtant, les guerres indo-pakistanaises soulignèrent une nouvelle fois son importance stratégique.</div>

Nous avons le plaisir de rencontrer un habitant de <em>Jaisalmer</em> qui, jusqu’à il y a trois ans, logeait avec sa famille à l’intérieur de la forteresse. Un tremblement de terre a lourdement endommagé sa demeure; tout en restaurant son <em>haveli</em>, il a la gentillesse de nous faire visiter son logis qui s’avère être un vrai musée. Nous y découvrons nombreux objets ancestraux dont un temple portatif qui accompagnait les chameliers lors des longues expéditions.</div>

Saviez-vous que le dromadaire est capable de rester plusieurs semaines sans boire? Dans le désert, en plein soleil, il peut survivre quinze jours sans eau! En revanche, lorsqu’il trouve un point d’eau, il est capable d’avaler près de 100 litres en moins de dix minutes!</div>

Les écarts de température dans le désert sont très marquantes : alors que nous enfilons notre tuque la nuit, la chaleur frôle les 50 degrés en plein coeur de la journée! Nous parcourons environ 2h tôt<strong> </strong>le<strong> </strong>matin, suivie d’une longue période de repos où tous cherchent un peu d’ombre (la chaleur écrasante rendant impossible toute autre activité) avant de poursuivre en fin d’après-midi pour atteindre notre campement pour la nuit. Seul <em>Olivier</em> demeure relativement actif en s’assurant que son dromadaire ne manque de rien! Bien beau à voir le ti-homme!</div>

En 1505, une flotte <em>portugaise</em>, qui mettait le cap sur les <em>Maldives</em>, dériva et trouva refuge dans le port de <em>Galle</em>; les <em>portuguais</em> élevèrent un petit fort et le renforcèrent de bastions et de remparts. Les <em>hollandais</em>, après la prise de possession de <em>Galle</em> en 1640, anéantirent presque toutes les traces de la présence <em>portuguaise </em>et édifièrent un fort de 36 hectares qui occupe encore aujourd’hui une partie du promontoire formant la ville ancienne.</div>

Les éléphants occupent une place particulière dans la culture <em>sri lankaise</em> et sa représentation est courante dans l’art religieux. Encore aujourd’hui, cet animal est très apprécié et est mis en valeur lors de grandes festivités. Comme nous en avions fait mention dans notre billet sur la <em>Thaïlande</em>, les éléphants d’<em>Asie</em> sont aujourd’hui en danger; la destruction de leur habitat et les conflits opposant l’homme à l’animal compromettent l’avenir de ces pachydermes.</div>

De façon générale, les troupeaux d’éléphants ne peuvent plus accéder aux territoires où ils se nourrissaient en raison des aménagements réalisés autour d’eux; ils ne peuvent plus parcourir la zone où ils trouvaient habituellement leur nourriture. Ils se retrouvent alors prisonniers et vulnérables; leur présence continue à poser un réel danger pour les villageois. Au moment des cultures, les fermiers se relaient jour et nuit afin d’effrayer les redoutables “pillards”. Les éléphants sont parfois réintroduits ailleurs, mais ils n’ont pas leur pareil pour retrouver leur chemin!</div>

En plus de nourrir les éléphants, nous avons pu assister à la remise sur pied de plusieurs éléphants gravement blessés aux jambes, des suites de leur passage sur des champs de mines, dans le <em>nord</em> du pays. Également, deux éléphanteaux de moins d’un an ont été ramenés de la forêt après s’être fait prisonniés d’un canal d’irrigation. Dès qu’ils seront en mesure de subvenir seuls à leurs besoins, ils seront remis dans leur habitat naturel.</div>

Paradis du voyageur, la THAÏLANDE est une destination accessible et bon marché. La majeure partie du pays se parcourt aisément que ce soit à bord de vols d’avion, de bus longue distance confortables ou en trains; les restaurants et les options d’hébergement ne manquent pas. Pas surprenant donc que 15 millions de touristes la choisissent comme destination vacances annuellement!</div>
<div align="justify">
Nous n’avons jamais vu autant de monde! Les îles de la <em>mer d’Andaman</em>, sur la côte <em>Sud</em> de la THAÏLANDE, ne font pas exception! En journée, elles accueillent un nombre démesuré de <em>long-tail boats</em> avec à son bord une quantité impressionnante d’étrangers, tous en quête de la beauté des îles de la THAÏLANDE.</div>

Notre visite des îles de la THAÏLANDE marque la fin de notre séjour, aussi diversifié qu’enrichissant, en <em>Asie du Sud-Est.</em> Il est maintenant le moment de pointer notre étrave en direction de l’<em>Océan Indien,</em> pour une quatrième année de navigation et de découvertes autour du monde. Après une fine préparation du bateau et de son équipage, nous reprenons la route pour une navigation de 1100 milles nautiques (environ 7-10 jours) qui nous mènera au <em>Sri Lanka.</em></div>

À bientôt!</div>
