Equipment Notes: Stereo=1; Decoded MS stereo. Madagascar DAT # 5-Nosy Kombe, etc. track 1 550 starting the old motorboat to take us out to the big boat. this can work as a transition. track 3? 720 engine winds down, we get to the boat, engine stops at 740. we get on boat, exchange hellos. boat goes away~ track 4 loading boat...boat starts moving, engine accelerates gently...then quiets...steady for good long time... 1138 gets noisy accelrating again...then good long stretch of travel again... track 5 qUieter engine, sails being winched up, gonna try to get a little wind. ain't gonna work real well. more sails being rigged a little bit later ...not great... track 6 (jean robert) 2128now the lemurs are ready because when they hear the noise of the boat they come to the pl,ace where the tourists come to give them bananas ... and teh meaning of the word nosy kombe ... nosy means island, and kombe means lemur in the malagasy word. but if you try to loook on nosy be's map, it's not saying nosy kombe, its saying nosy antanavu (?) it means fancy and stone... fancy stone... and it look like form of park?
