For a taste of the Indian Ocean watch this short film of Bob Hobman’s attempt in 1986 to sail across the Indian Ocean in a primitive native craft with the aim to show that the people of Madagascar, who originally came from Indonesia 2,500 years ago, sailed, not in a series of stages, but directly across the Indian Ocean, in one of the great epic voyages of history. His voyage took 65 days.
