JMF has started a major adventure at Randonnue... I think. He has joined his wife on Mayotte, is coping with the conservative Muslim culture in stealth and enjoying the island. Here is the link:

Mayotte
Published September 6, 2015
New living in Mayotte. In 2012, it was the discovery of this island located between Africa and Madagascar. This year I joined Michelle is there for three years. My view of the island can take into account its knowledge of the different facets of daily life, land and marine environment, both his experience of social living conditions in this changing society between African traditions and French departmentalization. It is true that it is a land of contrasts: contrast of blue sea and green forests, contrasting colorful traditional outfits and road traffic, contrast air-conditioned houses and huts of corrugated iron.
But the lagoon is still there with its coral reefs nearby beaches, so easily attainable with flippers, mask and snorkel, populated by colorful fish. Corals of all shapes and the colors vary depending on the water level of the tides and the orientation of the light: pink, green, bright purple or white, sometimes gray or beige or melting into the dark blue depths .
Friends were here a few days. Swimming together, he in suit, me naked, wrapped around the wrist jersey, I found myself on his images of GoPro. With which I have mounted two short videos.
Unfortunately, on this island Muslim population, which also faces serious security problems, especially in isolated places, difficult to really enjoy the many beaches lined with coconut and baobab trees. Too bad. I still managed to find a few quiet corners to enjoy fully the sun out of the water or walk on the sand.
Bon voyage
