Meeting the Famous Lemurs of Madagascar on Nosy Komba

Video summary

Press to jump

1:08James leaves Nosy Mitsio at dawn for the passage toward Nosy Komba.
4:08The Pelagic autopilot malfunctions, leaving James to hand-steer for five hours.
8:45Ashore, he walks through village market alleys lined with fabrics and carvings.
9:30The park trail brings black lemurs and a guided tour group into view.
14:05James returns with bananas and feeds black lemurs as they climb onto his shoulders.

James has to do rather more steering than planned before he gets to meet Madagascar's famous residents. Leaving Nosy Mitsio at dawn, he finds his new Pelagic autopilot veering off course and spends five hours hand-steering Triteia before anchoring off Nosy Komba at sunset.

The next morning brings a different kind of hands-on encounter. In "Meeting the Famous Lemurs of Madagascar on Nosy Komba," James walks through market alleys and onto the park trails, then buys bananas in the village and returns. Black lemurs climb onto his shoulders as he feeds them. "This is my happy place," he says.

It is the most-watched of the week's two uploads, drawing nearly 9,000 views, and also the channel's busiest video right now. Viewers discuss the wildlife, but the passage has its own memorable detail: one describes the early, quiet paddle-by as bringing back memories of still mornings on the water.

The other upload announced a November 7 meetup at Hout Bay Yacht Club near Cape Town. Together, the videos put the filmed Madagascar journey beside a South African diary date, rather than suggesting James is necessarily where the latest episode finds him.

Subscribers held steady, while the channel added roughly 39,000 views over the week, a modest total among its nearby travel peers. Delightful Travellers and Mostly Walking also had unchanged subscriber counts; Nikki Delventhal had a much larger week for both views and subscriber growth.

Behind the lemurs, James's rough Somali Sea passage from the Seychelles remains an active draw. So does the preceding Mitsio Island episode, where Lisl and Andy of Ancalas Journey joined him to explore goats, snakes and baobab trees before this latest island hop.

What viewers say

That early still and quiet morning paddle-by captured the emotion of those kinds of moments on the water. Just felt like I was there, flooded with memories of being on the water in those kinds of circumstances: early, balmy, no wind, just the gentle movement of the water beneath you... all that was missing were the aromas! Well done!

Nosy Komba seems a really chilled out place. The bush seems unusually peaceful. Thank you again for opening eyes.
